The algorithm was first described in the seminal paper by Prof. McCluskey
published in the Bell System Technical Journal,

E.J. McCluskey, "Minimization of Boolean functions",
Bell system Technical Journal, pp 1417-1444, Nov. 1956.

Another good source of reference is the more recent book by McCluskey,

E.J. McCluskey, "Logic Design Principles: with emphasis on testable semicustom
circuits", Prentice-Hall, 1986, ISBN 013539784-7 025
