Hi Dave....

I was quite pleased with the 'everything package'... early issues are a
fascinating
history of electronic music and synth-diy in its infancy. The later issues are
the
beginnings of DSP based synths... kind of 'not my style' but its a good way to
ease
into that if you like.

Plan on receiving a REALLY HEAVY package of paper... it took me several hours to

hole punch the pages and assemble into SIX really really large binders. If I did
it
again I'd choose more smaller binders (easier). The big ones are so heavy you
need to
read them at a table.

For those on a budget... the engineer's handbook and preferred circuits
collection
are a good overview... but might miss some of the more esoteric designs.

Note... some of the parts used in the designs are becoming obsolete at this
time...
