MOTM

If I remember correctly there were a few people on this list that were 
interested in getting a copy of Allen Strange's book, Electronic 
Music: Systems, Techniques, and Controls. Well, I finally got a copy 
of the book through McGraw-Hill. 

"Copy" of the book is a good way to word it. The book comes with a 
generic cover and while it isn't exactly a Xerox copy, it isn't a 
normal printed book either. It is obviously copied from a printed 
edition of the book. Some of the photos did not reproduce well, 
particularly photos of Moog modules because they are all black. Some 
of the diagrams have small text that is difficult to read. The main 
text has also lost its crispness and the print is a little fatiguing 
on the eyes. But the book is legible.

All complaints aside I am pleased to finally own a copy of this book. 
I find it very informational and useful. Whereas I've been programming 
synths for years (mainly OB Matrix-6) I am still relatively new to 
modular synthesis and CVs. This book explains things well (though it 
is a bit dry and academic).

I got the book by calling 1-800-338-3987, which if I remember 
correctly is McGraw-Hill (not Primis). The book costs $37.56 plus tax 
and shipping. For me the total was $44.35. A bit steep, but it was 
better than having to go to Kinkos and trying to copy the whole thing 
myself.
