One book I would highly recommend would have to be Dance Music Manual by Rick Snoman. I'd like to say that I am in no way affiliated with Rick Snoman in anyway other than by owning his book. Don't let that vivaciously generic and innocent title fool you for one second. Snoman has been a big part of the EDM community for many years and is very well versed. The book is broken into 3 parts and I cannot recommend it highly enough
