Beginning theory? Advanced theory? Orchestration theory?
In college I was taught theory with the "Music: In Theory and Practice" books by Bruce Benward and Gary White (Fifth Edition). Volumes 1&2 are good starting points for theory.
The Fifth Edition was put out in 1993, so they're probably up to edition seven or eight by now. Still, I recommend them, and you can probably find them at a college bookstore.

Well, that was the one I was looking at. Actually, I think it was either te first or second edition. How would I get it?

i learned my music theory with the keith snell series of piano theory books...just my two cents...i found them helpful, but they get quite repetetive from book to book.

Of course it would have to a college that uses that book. Before you drive out to SDSU or Point Loma, etc. Give the book store a call. You would also have to go at a time when the books are in stock.
An even better idea would be to go to Amazon.com. They have it listed

The thing is, I don't go to college, don't even know where the college book store is, so I think I will just have Alans Music order it. Would that work?
