You know we should probably have a list like this as a sticky.

I would add

Sound Reinforcement Handbook - Yamaha - Davis & Jones
good handbook for non digital audio though it can be pretty technical


Home recording for Musicians - Craig Anderton
dated (pre digital) but a good basic education in studio recording and how a mixer works etc written for non technical folks.

Electronics Projects for Musicians- Craig Anderton
Good intro to electronics
 
Thanks so much guys. Looks like I've got a lot of reading to do. I would love to see a list of this as a sticky as well. I know for me starting out it's nice to have those references. Thanks again.
