I have the book and it's a good though somewhat dated (1972) overview of electronic music. It is not a practical guide though, so maybe not what you are looking for. Anything will help understanding and patching though. People have recommended the Arp 2600 manual which is available somewhere on the net, so that might be a path to follow.

The 2nd edition is usually recommended though I'm not sure in which
way it differs from others editions. IIRC it is larger (275pp) than
the 1rst one. For good reason it's considered an essential reading by
many. However, it is very expensive by now unless you can find it in a
public library and copy it there. As Immanual had pointed it out it is
not a patch book. Best rgds, Ingo

i picked up 2 copies of the 2nd edition from amazon.co.uk in the past few months for about 15 or 20 euroes - so its not always a silly price

the book is also available as as pdf from the publisher

Normally I'm able to google my way to stuff like this once I know it
exists, but I can't find anything. I would very much appreciate a
link/hint.

I got the link from the author, he was also wondering why they hid it... unfortunately he is no longer with us

of course I can't even open it myself to tell you because its a digital edition and I changed my computer so the file as locked me out... how dare i change my computer?! copyright protection bullshit I'm afraid

I'll pass on the info if and when i get it open - 

and if anyone knows how to crack open a (legal!) digital edition please tell me offlist
