Going on holidays for 2 weeks and will be laying by the pool every day so looking for books on production for beginners/intermediate level producer.

Anyone recommend anything out there?

It's not necessary to have a new edition - I have first editions that are still great.

I'm a big fan of the computer music magazines as well

Plenty of eye candy on this one. Know the author too. Bad ass!

Ken Scott's autobiograhy Abbey Road to Ziggy Stardust was fun reading.

I also recommend the A Wizard A True Star Todd Rundgren In The Studio by Paul Myers biography or a lesser known but highly important producer in the rock world.

The Chronciles of Lady Gaga "My days getting banged on an SSL 128 channel mixing desk" I found this a profoundly riveting read.
