WAAAAH Mommy. He's TROLLING me.
Tony -
Congratulations from a minor troll to the mother of all trolls. Nobody does it like you.

By the way, my favorite books are:
Bains, Woodwind Instruments and Their History http://www.amazon.com/Woodwind-Instruments-Their-History-Dover/dp/0486268853/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1408320958&sr=1-1&keywords=woodwind+instruments. I think it's the best way to learn about the evolution of the clarinet, and the material on the other woodwinds is great cross-fertilization
Adam Carse, Musical Wind Instruments (dry but comprehensive)
Robert Willimann, The Clarinet and Clarinet Playing (long out of print -- full of war stories and practical advice)
Jack Brymer, From Where I Sit and In the Orchestra (his two autobiographies -- great practical advice)
Pamela Watson, Great Clarinetists of the Past and More Great Clarinetists of the Past (expensive but worthwhile -- there's also a recent supplement, and another volume, Great Clarientists of the Present, is out of print but worth finding)
Al Rice - The Baroque Clarinet (available in paperback) and The Classical Clarinet (new, and expensive in hard cover) (comprehensive and well-written books by the man who knows more than everybody)
Grove article on Clarinet.
See Gary van Cott's site for more.
