I like the Wm. Place book a lot. I have worked through Book I, and have Book II, but haven't moved much into it. What I have liked about Book I are the pieces--both for solo mandolin, and duets, which I have played w. my teacher. #
I have the Bickford books (I and II) and see that they are more thorough; but for pieces to play, I have really enjoyed those in the first instruction book by Place.

My teacher prefers Place for the same reason, although she does refer to Pettine and Bickford occasionally, as well. #I have a copy of Pettines Duo style that I hope, someday, to be advanced enough to attempt to tackle.
