Book recommendation for learning Computational Neuroscience

I started my academic career with a more experimental major (Pharmacy for my undergraduate and Neuropharmacology for PhD) and then got training in Computational Neuroscience. I learned a lot from diverse online and offline courses and resources. But the most important resource is the books I read (either by reading in detail or just skimming). Here I listed some books I find helpful for learning Computational Neuroscience from different backgounds:
