Book Reviews of Violin For Dummies (For Dummies (Sports & Hobbies))
Book Review: Can you really learn to play the violin with this book?
Summary: 1 Stars
I think it would be more beneficial for everyone if book reviews were ongoing. So, with that being said, I will update this review as I make my way through it.
At first glance,
PROS:
1)easy to navigate through chapters
2)no issues with shipping
3)A LOT of content
Cons:
1)pictures are REALLY dark. no exaggeration folks. it is really hard to make out the details. but this won't be to big of a problem with most of the pictures.
I will try to update this after a few chapters. I had to select a star rating for this to post, but this will change in future posts.
