This is a good book, easy to digest yet surprisingly thorough.
However, be warned. The otherwise awesome kindle edition is lacking the critical audio examples that you get when buying the printed version.
Why? I don't know. The kindle can handle audio files. Or the publisher could make the examples available on their web site.
But neither option is available. Which ruins an otherwise great read, since you'll be zooming along learning about this or that intonation -- and then the author will say "check out this sample track on the CD" -- but, woops, no audio samples are available on the kindle. I'll bet all the examples would take less than 2 or 3 MB of space as MP3 files, which would be fine. I hope Amazon or the publisher corrects this error.
Luckily, I was able to get ahold of the author himself and he helped me connect with the samples. But that's just crazy! Cool of him. Bad on Amazon!
