Hey Rain,
Here's one recommended by the leader of our music composition group; I bought it myself BECAUSE it is so basic; from Amazon.com .

All of my music books are still packed in two large boxes downstairs, but I believe that's one of the many books I have and I seem to recall that it really helped with a couple of concepts that were confusing me.  I remember getting bogged down trying to separate chord construction from chord progression...

Thanks Dan! I'd noticed this one and considered it one of my potential choices - it is actually the first one to pop up when I look for music theory books on Amazon, and it seems very well rated. I'll look into it. :)

Are you really really sure you want to do that?
 
Kinda like if I was to buy a book on...oh lets just say... Boolean Algebra.....
 
which, BTW, I did.....and nope..... not a bit of it made any sense to me. I stopped reading at the bottom of page 1 because I was already totally lost. Since I only paid a dollar, hey no big deal..... it collects dust on the book shelf.
