Matthias Fuchs Vintage FX

A very well written, excellently researched compendium for anyone interested in effect units of the 'golden age' of studio technology.
You'll learn about some artists who used those devices (plus occasionally little tricks) or some background about the inventors and the technology used. Also, it's very nice to have detailed full color pictures not only of the control panels but also of the inner works of the units.
Whether you're a nerd about vintage studio equipment or enjoy looking at beautiful pictures of past-time technology, this book presents a beautiful mix between coffee-table pictures and useful background informations otherwise hard to get.
