Any one recommend any good books

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-Seq...0153011&sr=1-5

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-Pro-Tr...ref=pd_sim_b_1

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-Pro-Tr...ref=pd_sim_b_1

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mixing-Engin...ref=pd_sim_b_4

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mixing-Audio...ref=pd_sim_b_4

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

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.

The last two are indeed good.
