I'm actually still reading parts of it and learning new things from it. I guess it's a good book for learning piano. But for me, I like to play music by ear even moreso than sheet music and I think you can learn a lot more and improve your piano skills just from raw practice. If you give the book time like I will I'm sure you will definitely learn a thing or two on the 88 keys. If your a beginner, I would not reccommend this book. You have to have some understanding of how to play the piano. Learn to Play the Piano and Keyboard A Step By Step Guide by nick freeth is a much better beginner's book.
