Anyone have one favorite book about bass instruction/music/history?

In other wods, one complete book that does it all - looks at the bass guitar as an instrument, looks at some players, and looks at basic method/instruction?

Teach Yourself Rock Bass by David Gross (1980)

Not so easy to get hold of, but its on ebay

I have a lot of bass books but this one is definitely one of my favs. Jaco Pastorius: A Step-by-Step Breakdown of the Styles and Techniques of the World's Greatest Electric Bassist
