Negative Positive
Title: Too expensive
Review: This is a first impression review. As the Preface says, the majority of this book consists of appendixes (over 150 pages): list of tals (which, as the autor says, are in some cases extremely old or rare) of prakars, a map of India, how to write the bols (the drum strokes) in Dev Nagri (by the way, all drum strokes syllables throughout the book are written in latin script with the corresponding Dev Nagri above, making space for redundancy), sources where to buy tabla (why use internet?) etc.. I couldnt help but to notice the poor quality of the impression (you can actually see the dots in the black and white photos, but I does not affect the comprehensibility). Overall it seemed to me that the book could be much more compact and that perhaps would make it less expensive.
Is the review positive or negative?
