Recommended Songwriting Books - Part 3

In two of my prior blogs, I mentioned some songwriting books that I think every serious songwriter should have in their songwriting library. Having a songwriting library will help you solve a lot of problems that you may encounter as a songwriter. Problems with melodies, lyrics, rhyming, writer's block, publishing, mixing, mastering, etc are things that songwriters face often. So buy some songwriting books.
