MOTM

Since I'm very new to this diy synth stuff, I'm asking for recommendations
on a basic electronics book (i.e., what do the colors on this
cylindrical thing mean?, what does a capacitor do? what is a 47k
resistor?).

Also, a basic electronics book that is analogue synth oriented (I've seen
a book by Barry Klein mentioned, but can't locate a copy).

Thanks (a new adventurer?), Jeff
