Believe it or not, the book is or was still in print. Saw it at Carl Fischer

Subject: [kl] Goodman's clarinet

>Regent Music Corp. published "Benny Goodman's Own Clarinet Method" in 1941.
>I have a copy, and it's a pretty good method, with some outstanding

>versions of Benny's Bugle, Gone With What Draft, Soft Winds, Till Tom
>Special, Flying Home, Gone With What Wind, Seven Come Eleven, Wholly Cats,
>Pick A Rib, Jumpin' At The Woodside -- with the solos by Goodman, Hampton,
>Charlie Christian and Georgie Auld. No, it's not for sale at any price.

>But the reason I mention it is that on the cover is Goodman holding a
