[sdiy] "Music Synthesizers: A Manual of Design & Construction" book - is it any good?

[KA4HJH]

All of the books by Horn that I have were published by Tab. Most of their
books are like bad versions of the DIY instructions from Information
Unlimited, and that's saying something. They're famous for having the same
guy right the same book three or four times, with none of the project
instructions really complete and/or requiring some sort of expensive
unobtanium. I got a whole pile of them back in late Eighties for cents on
the dollar and they were all crap.

Maybe they've improved in the last twenty years but the only really good
Tab book I've ever seen was about oxyacetylene welding.
