Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great Book!!
This is just what I was looking for. Perfect condition and great service with delivery!
Rating: - The Best Photo Manual Out There!!!
This is the best photo manual I ever purchased! This book got me through school with ease. I was the first one in my class to buy the book. When I showed it to my classmates, they loved it and EVERY SINGLE ONE of my classmates bought it. I especially like that the picture is on one page and the name and description of the instrument on another. This layout makes it very handy for quizzing yourself or quizzing each other. I have other photo manuals that are no where near as helpful as this one! Purchase ... Read More
Rating:  - think twice
poor quality of pictures, although the pocket size is valuable, agree with previous review on thin pages...bought this book as a course requirement....hardly used book
Rating: - POOR QUALITY
This is a very valuable book, only to see that all pages are tissue paper thin. There are also no dividers to separate the sections and the pages are too thin to put tabs on. This is a POCKET GUIDE that will fall apart fast when used as such.
