Independent Danish publisher Bjooks have announced that their latest release, The Minimoog Book, will soon begin shipping. The book, which has been in the making for over a decade and has been brought to fruition thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign in April 2024, packs in over 700 pictures and more than 100 interviews that tell the story of Moog’s legendary monosynth. 

Readers can expect exclusive interviews and features with legendary musicians such as Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman, Chick Corea, Tony Visconti (David Bowie), George Duke, Anne Dudley (Art of Noise), Bernie Worrell, Devo, Kraftwerk, Air, J Dilla, Gary Numan and many others — as well as some of today’s most respected songwriters and multi-instrumentalists, such as Greg Kurstin (Adele), Yumiko Ohno (Buffalo Daughter), Mac DeMarco and more.

The first batch of copies will be shipped out to those who backed the project on Kickstarter, who will receive a special numbered edition of the book in an exclusive dust jacket. All backers will also gain early access to the forthcoming Bjooks Club, which is scheduled to launch later this year. 

"This is the most comprehensive book we've ever created, and it would not have been possible without our loyal fanbase and newcomers — many new to Kickstarter. The Minimoog Book is written by JoE Silva and presents a comprehensive picture of the Minimoog's life and times, seen through the eyes of its creators and the musical artists who changed the very fabric of our culture. In an age where independent booksellers and publishers are struggling to keep up with behemoth e-commerce platforms and electronic distribution methods, it’s as important as ever that high-end, niche publishers like Bjooks are supported by loyal fans. We are proud to produce high-quality, tactile books that feature outstanding design and quality printing — and we know our customers appreciate this as well." - Kim Bjørn, Founder and CEO of Bjooks
