Hi Joe,
The Tymoczko is an excellent book, but it's really heavy on compositional theory and maybe something to read later
I would suggest:
Physics and Music: The Science of Musical Sound by Harvey E. White and Donald H. White -- good intro to basic materials
Tone by Siegmund Levarie
Beyond Measure by Jay Kappraff
Connections by Jay Kappraff
Basic Atonal Theory by John Rahn
A Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe by Michael Schneider
The first two are basic must-haves. The Kappraff books are not about markets per se and range farther afield but have excellent discussions of musical/fibonacci derivations plus an extended analysis of the Brunes star and other interesting stuff. No one seems to know about them. The Rahn presents key concepts in a more mathematical and formal way, i.e. set class, interval class, multiplicative transforms. Believe it or not, that's very useful. Finally, lots of useful stuff in the Schneider book.
Good reading!
Todd
