A Songwriting Bibliography

This is just a start - books I have on my bookshelf. 
I've got comments on each of these books, but I'll add those at some future date.

Many of these books are available through the NSAI online bookstore.
 Do you have a favorite songwriting book not on this list? Having trouble finding a copy? Want more information?
