Reference books

What is your favourite teaching reference book? I'm not talking about sheet music, but pedagogical texts. I'm looking to build up my library!

Thanks

The reference book I use most often is "The Pianists's Guide to Standard Teaching and Performance Literature" by Jane McGrath, published by Alfed.
