MOTM

The Mark Vail book has gone through a revision.  The new version is the 2nd edition.
 It is a good bit fatter than the first.  Check the front cover, it should say
"Second Edition, Updated and Expanded" in the upper right corner.  I ordered mine
through Amazon.com in March but it only arrived a week or so ago.  It is certainly
updated and includes a reference to MOTM and Synthesis Technology in the back! 
(How's that for making this on-topic!)

Of course, it also includes some pricing info which is out of date before it is even
printed.  There is more stuff and a few errors still (he hasn't figured out the
difference between a Roland System 100 and a Roland System 100M but that is
partially Roland's fault in the first place.)
