These are nice:
- Recording Engineers Handbook
- Mixing Engineers Handbook

Bob Katz' book is pretty much cannon for beginner mastering engineers (or at least it's the most commonly recommended).

Modern Recording Techniques is a good overview as well. And of course, this forum!

Yeah, this forum stomps all the books. I have read a bunch of them, but have learned much much much much more here

i think the real knowledge comes when you put theory into practice, so you might have put more of what you learned her to practice than the books

well its not a book but the dvd's

"internal mastering" and "internal mixing"

they are a great way to improve your way of thinking mixing wise, how to approach a mix (3 dimensions) and what mastering should actually do to your songs

its called internal mixing/mastering because everything is done with plugins inside the daw, as this guy says, theres no hardware etc. needed for professional mastering! and i totally agree now after using his methods.

theres also a chapter in the mastering series about setting up your monitors, including test tones etc.

i learned so much from these dvd's, so i totally recommend them!
