There is _The Beginner's Guide to Mathematica Version 3_ by Jerry Glynn
and Theodore Gray.  Gray is the head developer of the notebook front end
and graciously included several things in Chapter 56 of that book that
are documented nowhere else.

Although the conversion can be initiated by the front end via a menu
command, much of the conversion takes place in the kernel.  The top
level code for controlling the conversion can be found here:
