I'm looking for something to read, a real book i can take to the bog with me, not an ebook

I'm looking at the following, and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on them or any recommendations

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Creative-Sequencing-Techniques-Music-Production/dp/0240519604/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240153011&sr=1-5

I have very limited music theory knowledge, but do really enjoy the technical side of things. I'm not after a book explaing how to mic up recordings of real bands etc, more something aimed at electronic music

those last 2 links are good.
Mixing engineers handbook is good.
I wouldn`t recommend anything that gives "creative" sequencing advice or anything like that.
They are normally the opposite of creative.
A good book about mixing and then listen to lots and lots and lots of DIFFERENT types of music is the best lesson.
I am listening to a ton of modern minimalism in classical music at the mo, to push my musical technique.
Best way of learning IMO

check out "mixing with your mind" by michael stavrou.

Mixing Engineers Handbook is a good book. Behind The Glass is also quite interesting....

I just found a copy of Glen Hoddles autobiography in my new flat, yours for a score.
