Hey there is a blast from the past!
Sergio Franco is the author of one of my fave books, 
Design with Operational Amplifiers and Integrated Circuits.
(very much in the style of Horowitz&Hill, also Jung's OpAmp Cookbook,
but with a charm of its own)
AND, as a student, he was involved in the electronic design of the
analog behemoth, the SalMar Construction!!!!! so, he's one of the 
analog synth founding fathers too!
