The latest synth book from Danish book publisher Bjooks, The Minimoog Book, is now available to pre-order.

The comprehensive book – by author, journalist, and music historian Joe Silva – chronicles the Minimoog’s history, from its earliest prototypes and the very first Model D #1001, through the Minimoog Voyager models and into the present day.

“When I started digging into the history of the Minimoog back in 2010,” Silva noted, “I quickly realized how universal it was. I was continuously stumbling upon artist after artist or another famous piece of music that used it. It was pretty clear right away how important the instrument became once it came out…”

The book features detailed photography, schematics, historical promotional materials, engineering interviews, illustrated sound patches, and over 70 artist features.

Pricing and Availability:

The Minimoog Book is being published via a Kickstarter project, and is available to project backers starting at about $51 USD.
