Muff's Modules & More

I found a 2e at my university's library! Indeed, it is an excellent book. Nothing like curling up in front of the modular, trying out his simple exercises ~to understand a simple concept, e.g. VCO/VCF tracking~ rather than going nuts and patching everything all at once!

just getting caught up on this thread.

$900 for a copy and you can bet NONE of that is going to Alan Strange's family.
So, remind me where the moral high-ground is in BUYING a copy?

I too bought the Adobe Reader DRM crippled version of the document. What a steaming pile of shit Adobe Reader is. I cannot wait to see that company go down in flames.
FUCK ADOBE!

I just wanted a copy i could keep on my ipad with alot of other reference, and because it is actually a bitmap level scan it exported to a 350mb PDF (which is still adobe but at least a usable format.)

if you were to google the title of the book and the short form of a certain portable document format you might find a link.

it seems reasonable that this is made available seeing as it's entirely out of print and used copies are extortionately expesnive.

you can argue the moral hoo-ha's as much as you like, this way or that, and you can do what you like via private message or email, but the fact of the matter is (for whatever reason), that the dissemination of links to copyrighted material on this public forum is not tolerated.

How would we go about buying the rights?

So is the book copyrighted ?
The copies sold seem to be 30 years old....

I've contacted the publisher (which is apparently McGraw Hill, at the moment) through my university's MH sales rep; he's e-mailed the editor in charge of the rights to the latest softcover and PDF version and will let me know what's up once he finds out.

Yeah i'm in for a hundred or two. I have the 2nd edition, but i'd be thrilled to help make it available for everyone who wants.

What about a Kickstarter campaign to buy the rights and publish/e-publish a new edition?

I have a 2nd edition, which is still quite low quality in places. But would love to own a high quality copy both paper and e-book.

So happy to contribute.

Count me in for a contribution!

I do like the idea of a Kickstarter / Indiegogo campaign though.
