The steel book by Salmon and Johnson has base plate design, as does the book by Blodgett. AISC also publishes a column base design guide. I would start with the AISC design guide.
 
The ASIC publication deals with axial load, small moment and large moment... Your problem would fall under the large moment and they have a couple of worked examples in their publication.

FYI, the AISC publication is called "Steel Design Guide 1, Column Base Plates".
 
I made a spread sheet from an example by J.C. Smith. The procedure is similar to the design of retaining walls. When e>B/6, tension in the bolts is required for stability.

I have the Salmon and Johnson book, but I didn't know they addressed this. I will have to check it out.
