I haven't done thermodynamic calculations since I was an undergrad at
Northwestern. :-)
I don't have the book, here's a paper that includes an enthalpy graph.
It should be possible to pull several values directly off the table
and interpolate enough to build a simple table.

And here's a site that you can download a humidity calculation app from.
You will need IE with Active-X enabled:
