Frankly, it's the best of it's kind.<br /><br />Glad you got the review. If it reads like it was written hastily, it's because it was. :) I just didn't want to forget to write the review. Couldn't believe so much great information could be found for such a humble price.<br /><br />I have been playing a few weeks now. In fact, I had to force myself to pick up my telecaster after nearly two weeks. <br /><br />I love the ukulele so much that I decided to go right for the top and get a K brand. ...I know what a K brand is because of your book. :) Your book was not only a great primer for ukulele...but it served as a wonderful stepping stone to more information. Because of yuur book I began an obsessive research of the K brands (and a few others) before purchasing my genuine handmade uke. After many hours of googling, forum research, and multiple reads of your book I settled on a KoAloha Tenor. Should be here in a couple weeks right from HI. <br /><br />Talk about being bit hard and fast by the uke bug. lol<br /><br />Thanks again for all your work in those books. I have read 100 books about guitars from building (I have built a couple), to maintenance, to company histories (Fender, Gibson, Rickenbacker, Martin, etc.) so I can truly appreciate a well written, informative, and honest book. The majority of books out like this are either too sterile, too biased, or not injected with enough personal opinion. Your book really should be required reading. I found it to be FAR more informative than the Uke for Dummies book...wich is nearly a 5 star rating on Amazon.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05495357565970302000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8598669520995939567.post-44593982515754329932013-01-05T13:16:58.612-08:002013-01-05T13:16:58.612-08:00Hi Barry, it's Glen.

A couple of problems I've had have only manifested after the book got through Premium, so always worth checking your book and its blurb on Kobo and other channels once it works its way through (the type of apostrophe and some accented letters came out as gobbledegook in one of my book blurbs).@Ruby_Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07136530922804444637noreply@blogger.com
