images via this auction
"Here is a cool vintage hardback book that is a history of electronic musical instruments, with a forward written by Herbert Deutsch of Moog/Hofstra University!

If you are a synth history person, you will enjoy this, or if you are a person who enjoys what are now vintage electronic music instruments, from Synthesizers to Amplified Sound to Pickups etc.

Covers the origins of electronic music, from RCA's work in the 1950's to Moog and beyond. Explains how synths work in a very easy to follow manner. Great pictures, great text and hardback. A former library book, has the mylar cover and the dust jacket, usual library markings.It is 122 pages, and in good shape. Written in 1984. You will enjoy this. Nothing very deep, but does a nice job and will make a good addition to your collection. First time I have seen it."

Anyone know the title of this one? I'm not seeing it on the list.
