When I first reviews this book I gave it 1 star because it never actually arrived. Kevin Mayhew very quickly gave me a refund and have sent me a complimentary copy of the book, now it is back in print! Tremendous service.
As for the book, my wife is delighted and considers it one of the best usic books she has.
