Sax for Everyone
By Joseph R Baker
Super-basic reference on the Saxophone for the beginner through professional. Well laid out; uses daily language; covers it all. This book ought to be “Chapter One” of each and each Saxophone Method. A must for the beginning student and a quick reference for the professional, in particular one who is not fluent in “repair” language. Highly recommended.

Tipbook Saxophone
By Gary S. Brown
An magnificent source of popular data with regards to the four most mutual types of saxophones. The book covers a wide range of areas regarding saxophones, such as buying a sax, selecting accessories, practicing, etc. Being a tipbook, it presents the fundamental principle you need to recognise without a lot of text background detail. It answered a good deal of of the questions I’ve come up with but had no one to ask. The text format is short paragraphs of 2-4 sentences with some illustrations on each subject. The material is very easy to understand and apply. As a self taught student, I found the book very utile and was glad I ordered it. I was likewise rather pleased at the price.
