Independent Danish book publisher Bjooks, creator of industry-renowned hardcover books including Push Turn Move, Synth Gems 1, and Patch & Tweak, has announced that shipping has begun on its latest title: The Minimoog Book.
To fund the project, Bjooks founder and CEO Kim Bjørn initiated a successful Kickstarter campaign in April, 2024 and subsequently received overwhelming support from both new and existing readers.
A labor of love more than a decade in the making, The Minimoog Book is Bjooks’ most extensive and thoroughly researched effort to date. Kim Bjørn is quick to credit the 1,180 Kickstarter backers – comprising a wide set of music lovers, synth aficionados, and loyal Bjooks fans.
“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,” commented Kim Bjørn. “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 ecommerce platforms and electronic distribution methods, it’s as important as ever that high-end, niche publishers like Bjooks are supported by loyal fans” he added. “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.”
In addition to having their copies shipped first, all Kickstarter backers will also receive a special numbered edition of the book with an exclusive dust jacket featuring an “authorized backer” sticker. Finally, all backers will receive early access to the forthcoming Bjooks Club, which is scheduled to launch this fall and for which more information will be forthcoming.
Scheduled for release in September 2024, The Minimoog Book is available to pre-order now for 75 EUR/USD incl. tax, excluding shipping.
