Some books I can recommend are the Pasquale Bona Rhythmical Articulation book published by Carl Fischer in both bass and treble clef. Also, there is a set of Concone Lyrical Studies which I have never seen in bass clef for tuba. It's published by The Brass Press, Blair Academy Series and differs from the Concone etudes I've seen transcribed for bass clef instruments. I prefer to play these on a BBb tuba "trumpet style", with written "C" sounding concert "Bb". The ablity to do this allows you to utilize all of the trumpet etude books, such as the Vassily Brandt Etudes for Trumpet. Most CC tubists I know play treble clef etudes in concert pitch.
