The weak spot is of course also its strength: It's a book about Csound! Shortly after I bought the book I discoverd PD and I actually stopped using Csound. But nevertheless it is a very broad book, that touches a lot of topics of interest beyond Csound. I even adapted some of the ideas for PD patches. If you're a Csound user, you *need* this book, if not, I would buy it, if you already have read the Dodge/Jerse and the Roads. BTW and just for the record: I'm currently reading the Roads, after I had finished the Dodge, and I must say, I like the Dodge better: It's clearer and more concise, IMO. ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
