I know the Stanford bookstore had a copy last time I was there.  $64.00
is a lot, but I believe that the book is printed on demand, which would
explain the price.  As far as the original posting, this is THE book
that fulfills that description: in-depth descriptions of most of the
major digital synthesis techniques, heavy on the mathematical details,
with C code provided for most of the techniques described.  Not a good
book for beginners, but a good book to work up to - I'm still working on
learning the math necessary to really appreciate the book.

As far as other books, Dodge and Jerse's "Computer Music" is an
excellent first book - good balance of introduction to techniques and
technical description.
