If that wasn’t all…this book also comes with a plan for the construction of an alphorn in F-sharp and for a “büchel” (a shorter, trumpet-shaped variant of the alphorn) in B. 

Its 224 pages are written in German by the Swiss ethnomusicologist, Brigitte Bachmann-Geiser.
It was published in 1998 by Haupt Verlag.
