Well, whatever you want to learn it is a very big field with music theory.
Sang "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" when I was three, and played drums and accordian when I was four.
I think I have forgotten more than I learned. And still probably may yet learn more or not.

Back to my man-cave to eat snails and puppy dog tails and dress in blue, I guess.
I also have an ex-wife (and I may be dead as of then which was a while back now).

I'm sorry Rain - I completely forgot to look at that book last night.  Tuesday and Wednesday nights are pretty busy for me and it just slipped the ol' dawg's mind.

Forget the book. I can tell you for a certainty that Music exists. Some might try to say it's only a theory but I believe with all my heart that it's real. And that, my friend, makes it a FACT!

that would also have to mean that we have to believe that you are real.  how do we know you're not just a figment of bapu's imagination?

No worries - I've placed the order for the Berklee ones but I thought I'd hold on and see what you guys come up with for the other one, so you have plenty of time. :)

You know, the guy whose imagination you live in.

You might also want to consider "Music Theory for Computer Musicians" by Michael Hewitt.  I have not read it but I did just finish "Harmony for Computer Musicians" by the same author and was mostly satisfied with the pacing and depth (for a first foray into an education about harmony).  There were a number of regrettable errors, mostly in the accompanying diagrams, but it was still very much worth the time and money spent.  By the way, the "computer musicians" part is really insignificant.  He uses piano roll view images along with scores to illustrate points.  A non-computer musician would have benefitted no less because of that.

I always thought that music was a fact, not just an ol theory.

The difference between theory and practice is that in theory, theory and practice are the same, while in practice, theory and practice are rarely so.
