His book is legendary and quite a legacy.
Sure wish it would be reprinted since those who have a copy seem to think it's worth the going price for a used copy !

There was a copy of the book, or a link to it, posted here, but Allan objected to that and the copy was taken down. I lost the details and can't find it on the forum anymore but IIRC he said that photo copies could be obtained in some way ... which also means he must have been a member here I guess, if only for a couple of posts.

In http://electro-music.com/forum/post-166337.html there is some info on how to possibly obtain the book.

Thanks to both of you.
With the "renewed interest in analog synthesis" these days, it might very well be reprinted.

I saw the same thing happen to Ravi Shankar's, "MY MUSIC, MY LIFE".
It had the most in-depth information about Indian classical music I'd ever seen but was out of print for a long time and used copies became quite expensive.
Then, presto, it was reprinted last year with additional information and terrific new photos ! A rare jem Smile
