Swain's book is one of the most focused and practical guides to building a coherent story I've read. It's a true classic and the secret sauce of many great stories. If you love to tell stories, do yourself a big favor. Buy Swain's book before you put pen to paper (or finger to keyboard)
There are many books about creating great mixes, but this one is unique. It's filled with practical tips but more about the concepts and ways to listen to mixes.
