[sdiy] New Thomas Henry Book

[Scott]

What would be great is a nice synth book like that, but with images of
PCB layouts, that you could scan and size and print.

Maybe I just need to learn Eagle.  I've sort of been afraid to try to
jump into that one for some reason.  
Tho, lately Im starting to wonder if it's easier to print a PCB and
drill all those hundreds of holes, or just use prototype board.

Will there be PCBs made available to go along with the circuits?
