I like it very much. It also has a very "easy-to-read" fingering chart with pretty exhaustive alternate fingerings. Worth the money just for the chart.

Lots of excerpt work there too. Great book and different from anything else out there.

Thanks for the feedback.
I like it too, and have used it some both in my own personal practice and with students.
This year one of my students is doing an Individual Learning Plan for school in place of band. I had to write up a proposal for a course of study. For the first part of the year, at least, I decided to use TTS as a basis for technique development. It is not as comprehensive as, say, the full Klose or Baermann III, but it is less intimidating.
I've also ordered a couple of copies of Pares' scales book, which I may add to the plan. I tried to find sample pages of it on-line, but they don't seem to be available. It's high on Glenn's list, so I figure it's worth having in the tool box.
Presentation is important, especially when it comes to technical exercises. Books that look inviting are more likely to be used.

For Baermann III you have to get Galper's Scale Studies book which is based on that.
