Subj: Conductor books

I know this topic has nothing whatsoever to do with the two lists I
sent this to, but these are the best places I can think of, so bear with me.
Being in Iowa, there are precious few resources available for me to
use to learn (I am not currently in a university environment, and will probably
not be for a while.) I am trying to learn to conduct better than I currently
do - which, due to a bad bit of irony, I do with my LEFT HAND. Yuck!
Anyway, knowing that the only really best way to improve conducting is
to DO IT, I nevertheless would like to get at least a beginning book on it, if
there is such a thing. I need help on some of the basics before i try to
overcome the problem of finding an ensemble that will let me use them as my
"guinea pig".
Does anybody on the list know of any good conducting books? Thanks a
lot in advance!

-- Scott
