`This is the best book I have found for a beginner.
It covers all the basics in an easy-to-read, understandable and informative manner.
I have never used a textbook in any of my audio classes because I have never found one I really felt covered the subject in an easy-to-digest manner. I think I've found the text I'll be using next seminar.'
