Summary: The one to start with
Comment: We have one music store locally that focuses mainly on traditional music with traditional instruments (guitar, mandolin, fiddle, dobro, bass) and they suggest this book as the best book to start off with. After working with it for a while I'll have to agree.
I starts with very basic information on how to hold the instrument and proper left and right hand position. You then start to learn basic picking technique and the notes of the strings. I like this because many books teach you how to read tabulature but don't spend any time trying to teach you the actual notes both on the fingerboard and on the music staff.
As you progress through the examples you'll learn the basic scales in G, C, D, and A. This will cover most bluegrass tunes. The book also covers hammer ons, pull offs, and triplets so you pretty much get a full technique workout.
Then the book really starts to shine. There are 12 songs to add to your repitoire. Each song is on the CD in a slow, medium and up to tempo example. In fact, every excercise on the book has an audio example.
Note, there is also a video tape version and a DVD version of this book. The book is the same for each version, however, there is a bonus song in the book that only the CD has as an audio example. That song is not included on the DVD or Video version. So that's another nice bonus.
If you want to learn to play mandolin then take the same advice I did. Get this book and work all the way through it. I think you'll enjoy it.

Summary: Very Helpful.
Comment: I have never played the mandolin or any stringed instrument before, but I feel like I'm learning quite a bit through the use of this book. The Bert Casey video makes it easier to see how to place your fingers so you should get that as well as the book/CD.
