Informative little book. The first half is about the history of the harmonica and some of the greatest players of the instrument. Also recommended recordings by them.
What I didn't care for was, things like holding the instrument and playing chords and single notes, aren't really explained in enough detail for someone who may be absolutely new to such. But of course, you can always turn to YouTube for a solid explanation of each.Then return to the book for a list of some simple single note songs that make for good practice. Quite a bit too. Even a section on reading music notation.
Overall, I enjoyed it!
