How To Make A Noise - Perhaps the most widely read book about synthesizer programming-is a comprehensive, practical guide to sound design and synthesizer programming techniques using subtractive (analog) synthesis, frequency modulation synthesis, additive synthesis, wave-sequencing, and sample-based synthesis. The book looks at programming using examples from six software synthesizers: Cameleon 5000 from Camel Audio, Rhino 2 from BigTick, Surge from Vember Audio, Vanguard from reFX, Wusikstation from Wusik dot com, and Z3TA+ from Cakewalk. Simon Cann is a musician and writer based in London. He is author of Cakewalk Synthesizers: From Presets to Power User, Building a Successful 21st Century Music Career, and Sample This!! .

Thought this may be of use to some. Although it follows a few vst synths in particular (including some demo patches) it has a lot of pretty universal reference material and is fairly easy to read (Compared to most synth related text books)

Yes buy it from amazon.

I'm reading how to be a wizard from preset to power user just now. I've only started so cannot say if it's good or bad.
