A text version of it without images, of course, is available for free. Not ideal but would give you the chance to see for yourself what's inside. I was using Borderlands Granular yesterday & realized how little I know about granular synthesis. Today, you post these questions. I am now reading the online version. It's pretty academic in style but the contents I find interesting.

Read bits, got it in my iBooks - tend to dip in and out of things,

The book is a staple for the more academic side of computer music.
I found it very informative and rewarding. Hey, look, I even still have the CD! Most of the content is relevant, such as use in composition, differences between granular synthesis, particle synthesis and transformation of micro sound.
Other parts are a bit dated, he references a composer called Earl Howard who (ab) used a K2500 to arrive at such sounds.
As others have mentioned it’s very technical.
“Designing Sound” by Andy Farnell is excellent, covers pretty much everything from the movement of molecules to recreating nature sounds in code.
It’s not cheap but I’ve seen it discounted and it will keep you busy for a long time!
