Looking For Individually Based Songwriting Books.

[Jim622]

I'm looking for any recommendations on books to improve my songwriting/lyrics. Most of the books I find are heavy

on group collaborations. for instance 'The Frustrated Song Writers Handbook' which I was told was very good, I found

to be almost useless for me. It was based on the Immersion Music Method, which I honestly couldn't get into very much,

and it promoted group or 'lodge songwriting'. Any suggestions.
