A friend bought me the book and these are great studies! I get bored with our Mandolin Orchestra music--it's not much more of a challenge sometimes than the classical double bass parts I'm used to playing. You know, brain dead, then suddenly you're incredibly busy for 4 measures, then easy again. Well, these are quite different. Each one has a goal, whether it be a plectrum stroke, a key signature or whatever, but they aren't boring. Warning--they are in bass and often tenor or alto clef. Very melodic! Available through the folks who took over from Norman and sell on eBay, the name escapes me at the moment.
