    Cool selection of off-road tunes. I purchased a copy.

    This new collection is discussed at length in Bradley Laird's newest podcast.

    What a lovely book! Selection of tunes is generous, well-notated and documented with sources, historical info and where to go to hear played/performed. The transcriptions are easy to read and follow, in down-home style and superior penmanship.

    Clearly, Tristan is passionate about mandolin and old-time music, a winning combination. A quality addition to the learning library, for sure.

    Got mine yesterday after ordering it on Saturday- speedy service! I echo AlanN's comments- killer tunes, easy to read notation and great historical context. Recommended. Looking forward to committing these to memory this weekend.

    Just announced it's available in PDF format in case you're in a hurry. Anyone that bought the print version can get the PDF for no extra charge.

    Yep, Tristan send out a note about that. Handy to also have a soft copy.
