One of my favorite "chord" books, which goes well beyond major and minor
scales...and one which offers an opportunity for hundreds if not thousands
of hours of practice...is Dan Haerle's "Scales for Jazz Improvization."
Haerle is a piano player but his works [on both theory and practice] can be
used by anyone. This volume has the Ionian [major], Dorian, Aeolian, and
Ascending Melodic minor scales written out in all keys. The Harmonic minor
and its modes are also discussed, although only this scale is C is notated.
Great book...especially for someone who wants an improvization vocabularly.

That's the sort of thing you do need a book for - but just for practising
scales? Surely not!
