reading recommendation

There has been a lot of discussion on the board about bore dimensions, acoustics, etc.; so I wanted to recommend a book and open the discussion for other recommendations of similar/related material. I found "Clarinet Acoustics," by O. Lee Gibson, published by Indiana University Press, a very helpful book. It was easy to find on the Barnes and Noble website (www.bn.com).

Some of us may have already read this particular book, especially those of us who took clarinet performance. But for those aspiring young players and those who took up clarinet after their formal education ended, this book will answer a lot of questions about acoustics, dynamics, research, etc. There is information about the history of clarinet acoustics and when and why changes were made and improvements developed.

Any other good reads out there?
