How To Wreck A Nice Beach is a new history of the vocoder. (The title is the misinterpretation, "How to Recognize Speech.")
How many books are reviewed by both Sasha Frere-Jones *and* David Kahn, the author of Codebreakers!
The author, Dave Tompkins, is speaking and signing the book tomorrow night in Berkeley, CA. And has a bunch of Bay Area and Seattle shows, etc. this week.
