It's a big meaty book But I really recommend it for those studying music. Bizarley the idea of melodic structure being analyzed to any great degree was very late in coming. This book really is beautifully written, easy to digest and has examples on a webpage you can access (without buying the book !)

There is a great interview with Caplin here:
Simply put the knowledge acquired form this book will really help you write melodies. You'll also get a firm grasp on how they can be manipulated.
worth every penny.
