Re: new to mandolin! how to read!
Rich del Grosso has an excellent book for beginners that teaches how to read music. I also like the Mel Bay Mandolin Method for teaching how to read on the mandolin. Reading music is easy, and gives you access to a world of written music to explore. Of course learning to play by ear, without needing written music or tablature, is the most important skill for most of us.
