[sdiy] Book about creator of Starwars sounds!

[Tom Corbitt]

I ordered this used off Amazon after learning about it here. It showed
up last night in a grossly over-sized box and immediately became my
young daughters new favorite thing. I managed to sneak it past her
this morning and took it work and it's been quite a hit, I think
several people went and ordered their own copy after playing with
it...

I ended up paying around $18 for it, and IMHO it's worth every penny.

I didn't have much time to read much past the introduction last night
but my random readings of sounds has already discovered several
amazing sound entries that say things like "for the sound of this we
modulated noise x with noise y, added this to noise z and then piped
it all through an ARP 2600 which was connected to a foot controller
attached to a angry cat flying a P-51 blindfolded"
