the only fx-related book I have at the moment is "The BOSS Book -- The Ultimate Guide to the World's Most Popular Compact Effects for Guitar" (Hal Leonard, 2002). the Hal Leonard imprint is an English printing of a book that was obviously first intended for the Japanese market, but despite the occasional typo (did the DS-1 really get discontinued?!?) and sometimes unorthodox page layout, there's a wealth of info here, and I think it's worth your $15-20. there's also a CD included that provides a sort of Whitman's sampler of Boss pedal sounds. I don't mean to endorse amazon.com over anyone else, but click here for more info:

"The Boss Book" is great!
Also recommended:
"Guitar Effects Pedals - the practical handbook" by Dave Hunter
"Stompbox" by Art Thompson
I haven't read or even seen the one that AnalogMan sells, but I'm sure it's quite good. |

| For general information abuot how effects work I like Craig Anderton's Electronic Projects For Musicians. It's a DIY book about building effects so there's no mention of Boss or other brands of pedals. |

| The Analogman book is wonderful! It covers more of the vintage segment of effects along with some more current boutique lines ( Way Huge, Z Vex, etc. ) It's Boss coverage would be described as weak at best, but then we have Bossarea and the Boss Book for that! Just be prepared to start drooling $$$. |

I just got the "Guitar effects pedals-a practical handbook by Dave Hunter and it way more informative than "Stompbox" by Art Thompson.
Now I just have to get The Boss Book, DIY electronic projects for musicians, and one other one and I'll be good for a while. |
