Hey Gang!

I managed to un-earth some more rare, out-of-print 
synthesizer/electronic music books for sale.  This 
time around I've got quite a few heavy hitters
that won't last long:

(1)     The Music Machine - Selected Readings From The
        Computer Music Journal edited By Curtis Roads
        M.I.T. Press, 1989, Large Softcover, 725 Pages, MINT

        This technically minded book contains numerous 
        chapters within the following section headings:  
        Interviews w/ Electronic Music Innovators, 
	Composition, The MIDI Interface, Music Software, 
	Synthesis & Signal Processing, Signal Processing 
	Hardware, Music & Artificial Intelligence.

        Hal Chamberlin
        Hayden Books, 1987, 2nd Edition, 802 Pages, 
        Hardcover, DustJacket, MINT!

        What more can I say about this classic text?  
        This book has so much useful information that it 
        will appeal to the engineering gEEk and the 
        serious synthesist alike.

        Price = $58.00 shipped US Priority Mail

(3)     The Synthesizer by Roland Corp

        This MINT condition 4-volume book set comes housed 
        in the standard cardboard holder and contains the 
        following titles:
        
        * A Foundation For Electronic Music
        * Multichannel Recording For Electronic Music
        * Practical Synthesis For Electronic Music Part 1
        * Practical Synthesis For Electronic Music Part 2
        
        The modular patching examples are illustrated using
        System 100m modules but are applicable to anyone
        who owns a modular (Nord Modular Users take note!)

        Price = BEST OFFER over $65.00  

(4)     The Complete Guide To Synthesizer by Devarahi
        PrenticeHall, 1982, 214 Pages, Large Softcover, N-Mint

        This is truly one of the holy-grail books on modular
        synthesis.  Features tons of modular patching diagrams
        and front panel shots of modules from the Emu, Aries, 
        Moog modular systems.  There is a large photo section 
        with lots of sexy shots of monosynth, polysynths, and 
        complete modular systems.  Finally, there is a chapter
        devoted to the programming of the Arp2600.

        Price = BEST OFFER over $75.00

As always, the above prices are in US funds and must be 
pre-paid with a US Postal money order.  As soon as I receive 
payment, your book(s) will be promptly shipped in a very safe

Finally, here's a list of books/items that I'm looking to OBTAIN 
for my personal library/collection.  I am open to trades or will
buy outright:

(1)     Analog Electronic Music Techniques
        by Joel Naumann & James Wagoner

(2)     DIGITAL AUDIO SIGNAL PROCESSING: AN ANTHOLOGY
        by John Strawn

	Don't confuse this title with the other book
	by John Strawn called, "Digital Audio 
	Engineering: An Anthology" -- I don't need this one!!!

(3)     Synthesizer Von Gestern Volume #1
        By Matthias Becker
