I used "The Practice of Harmony" by Peter Spencer. It worked well for me, but is a little expensive. But it shows a lot of good examples and has exercises you can do. Good luck!

Are you talking about starting from scratch? If so, learned on the Rubank books.

The Rubank books are not THEORY books. They teach you how to play but absolutely nothing about music theory.

Elementary and Advanced Harmony (in 2 vols.) by Robert W. Ottman. former professor at NTSU. Also Piston's book is good.

I endorse the Master Theory Workbook. All of my students have to complete the first 3 volumes. I also provide online help for users of the book at:

The Musician's Institute also has a good book entitled Harmony & Theory. It's published by Hal Leonard.

Oh, one other book.
Classical Music for Dummies.
Go to your local bookstore and read Ch.11 "The Dreaded Music Theory Chapter."
