Good audio engineering books?

Anybody have any recommendations? More focused towards the digital side of things. I've also downloaded a few over the past few months, and they've been beginner books, but a lot of them spend half of the time focusing on talking to clients or being friendly during sessions and stuff. But that's not what I'm looking for, I want to take my mixes/mastering to the next level because I feel that they're lacking. I look up stuff on sound on sound and other resources and I hear things like "linear phase EQ" and "dithering" I'm out of the loop on things like this and I don't want to be anymore.

Sweet, thanks dude. I'll be sure to check that one out. Seems straight to the point, no bullshit.

It will likely trash what every monitoring setup you have, but a lot of good stuff in it lol.

I'd go straight into Bob Katz' contribution. Yes it says mastering in the title but it covers so much.

I also wrote a blog post on the matter as well. (It's mainly catered towards mastering but there's a fair few mix resources in there as well)
