Genesis is very good. Required fare, in fact. For me, however, the Just
Intonation Primer was much better to start with, and helped me prepare for
Partch. This excellent Primer was written for Just the kind situation you
seem to be in, and is free when you join the Just Intonation Network.

I will. Already en route to my house is "Number Theory in Science and
Communication: With Applications in Crypotography, Physics, Digital
Information, Computing, and Self-Similarity" by Manfred R. Schroeder.
