[sdiy] 76477 (Again)

[Joe Kramer]

Dear Peter,
    Thanks for the info.  I did check Midwest, and somewhere on the site, it says they are planning to
issue The Reprints.  I'm very interested in getting a hold of these.  I have "Electronic Music
Cicuits" by Brice Ward, and "Music Synthesizers" by Delton Horn, and have only begun to dig into
them.  I think it's tragic that valuable books like these should ever go out of print and all the
knowledge be consigned to limbo.  I was really devastated when Stompboxology went off the air--my
letters were "returned to sender" and the site is just gone.  I still haven't been ble to find out
what happened.  They had a wealth of really interesting music circuits. At any rate, thanks for your
time and help!

Regards,
Joe Kramer
