Suggestions so far have been very good. I'd like to add "Tuning In,
Microtonality in Electronic Music" by Scott R. Wilkinson. Simple
explanations, lots of scales, some acoustics, some history of tuning, some
instrument pictures and a bargain at $15! I love this book and have read
mine so much that I'm now on my second copy!

Unfortunately, it went out of print about a year ago. (sob!) There's
probably copies floating around somewhere.

It was published by Hal Leonard Books: HLB00183796, ISBN 0-88188-633-5

A fun book but be careful -- it contains some serious errors.
