Greetings,

In addition to the Computer Music Tutorial mentioned earlier, I would 
recommend

Computer Music: Synthesis, Composition, and Performance by; Charles Dodge
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0028646827/ref=pd_sim_b_3/104-8250174-4845556?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance

and Computer Sound Design: Synthesis Techniques and Programming; by Eduardo 
Miranda.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0240516931/ref=pd_sim_b_6/104-8250174-4845556?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance

Roads is a perhaps bit more comprehensive than either of these, as it 
includes a great deal more historical information in addition to the 
technical, but a search back through the list archives for these 
titles/authors should reveal some debate over the strengths of each. (Maybe 
not Miranda.  I don't remember much mention of his book, but Dodge and 
Roads have been discussed many times.)  All make great gifts.

Take care,
