Hi Markus, nice list of links
thank you!
I know that most of this books are available on pdf but i prefer the old
paper way! :-)

- Electronic music circuits is on my wish list
- I know well the work of Ray Wilson, it was one of my starting point,
years ago i bought from Ray some kits, and i have all the material to build
a synthlab but never had the time...
- I have seen Thomas Henry's books on Lulu, they are interesting but I
would rather they were all in one book (is Thomas in this list?) it's video
is available somewhere online?
- The reprint collection is very very interesting
- I have the Chamberlin books, it cost me 50 euros and is full of
annotations but is pure gold!
- Mu:zines is a great website, a lot of effort in it, and i think i have
almost all this magazine

- Digisound is copyright protected? it's a system that I really like and
would love to build

my suggestion (or book that i have)
- Delton T. Horn - The Synthesizer (i have the italian version "Il
Sintetizzatore", i don't know if is the same as the english version)
- F.C. Judd - Electronics in music (arrived today, very cool!)
- i have bought this books https://www.dataton.com/shop/the-early-synth-days
<https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dataton.com%2Fshop%2Fthe-early-synth-days%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR3PwYvsviQ5sYsZtPW6_MF0_xDzxdvktYbhSff6zSyGSFqnq-pEBA_VeGs&h=AT01sCKsSBf0hvGNcRa55jsEYkUyLn0b0TbLbLCIlaReTnTm9qlq3LFfm1-bfxLjAIqC2M12DZEhpcIbtR9mORGiCPWjbg_dfzwdXLibki2sgWhLKxssXlpfzOxcvVxe1pws4Kh8>
this
deserve very euro! is a very nice book, with many photos and many
electronic details of this synth that was the first product of the dataton
(which now produces other things)
- Arduino for Musician
