I've been impressed by "FM Theory and Applications" by John Chowning
and David Bristow.  Chowning is the creator of FM synthesis and this
book does a good job of explaining the basics.  I think its available
from MIX Bookshelf (800)233-9604.  And yes, it does get into some
of the math, so good thing you're not scared ;-)
