Interesting. I read a review this morning and am considering buying the  
book.

I have this book.
 
 
Overall it's a very good book, well researched and a good resource for  
those curious about the history of the vocoder.
 
But what's not good about it is the occasional 'hipster lingo' the author  
uses when showing his bias towards some less than talented late 70's and 
80's  contributors to vocoder use.
 
He occasionally passes these people off as bigger than they are (or were)  
and exaggerates their influence as though it was consensual fact and not  
his own opinion. 
 
The exaggerations of contributions by 80's  era 'nobodies'  hampers the 
books' credibility.
 
If you can see through this 'revisionism'  this then the book  is a great 
resource.

I found this web site _http://howtowreckanicebeach.com/_ 
(http://howtowreckanicebeach.com/)  after seeing a book  with this title as a prop on the 
Buchla site. 
Men talking with Frogs to Bob Moog. Quite an adventure to look at.
