Title: Brief and to the point...
Review: This book is basically a pamphlet but has so much information in it. It gives you the origin of the mandolin with emphasis on it's contributions to 20th century pre-nazi germany. You'll learn about the mandolin and mandolinists throughout time in different European countries as well. Nothing specific about technique is given, however repertoire is extensively discussed. A good reference and starting point to your discovery of the origin of the mandolin family. Correction, it is a must have.
