for me the best book i ever read must be by this aussie guy: Mixing with your mind.
Like it because it goes a lot deeper into recording and mixing than most...
You can order it directly from his site, i did and received it in under 10 days (from Australia to Belgium).

I also like a the art of mixing by David Gibson. Theres also a DVD availble which covers the same things as the book. It's made in the early 90's so it has some pretty hilarious visuals (really hi tech

)
