Just recently found out how important mastering is. Would love to learn more.

Sweet!

I have the Recording Engineer and Mixing Engineer books and have found them very useful, especially the Mixing Engineer book (since I can’t afford the lovely mics in the other book). I would expect this book to be as readable and useful so, if you TUT-ers don’t win a freebie, you should at least check it out.
Gotta have it
I love his books – sign me in:)
