If I remember correctly there were a few people on this list that were
interested in getting a copy of Allen Strange's book, Electronic
Music: Systems, Techniques, and Controls. Well, I finally got a copy
of the book through McGraw-Hill.

"Copy" of the book is a good way to word it. The book comes with a
generic cover and while it isn't exactly a Xerox copy, it isn't a
normal printed book either. It is obviously copied from a printed
edition of the book. Some of the photos did not reproduce well,
particularly photos of Moog modules because they are all black. Some
of the diagrams have small text that is difficult to read. The main
text has also lost its crispness and the print is a little fatiguing
on the eyes. But the book is legible.

All complaints aside I am pleased to finally own a copy of this book.
I find it very informational and useful. Whereas I've been programming
synths for years (mainly OB Matrix-6) I am still relatively new to
modular synthesis and CVs. This book explains things well (though it
is a bit dry and academic).

I got the book by calling 1-800-338-3987, which if I remember
correctly is McGraw-Hill (not Primis). The book costs $37.56 plus tax
and shipping. For me the total was $44.35. A bit steep, but it was
better than having to go to Kinkos and trying to copy the whole thing
myself.
