The advanced book is 78 pages and spiral bound. (a good idea so it can open flat)

The Beginning and Intermediate books are 35 and 43 pages respectively and staple bound.

The Advanced Book has 12 chapters, all with excellent info and relevant musical examples (from the literature)to reinforce and demonstrate the points. However, I found the last 5 sections in the Advanced Book to be especially useful. They explain and show examples of
resonated throat tones, high notes (with a useful chart of which fingerings are suggested for diatonic, chromatic, short skips and wide skips), how to smooth out upward and downward skips, legato finger motion and rinforzando attacks.

BTW - Although David Etheridge probably didn't intend it as so, the one page bibliography in the back of the book is an excellent foundation list of exercise books, core materials and solos which should be in every serious clarinetist's personal library.

Remember - these books are not your typical clarinet method (ala Rubank) where you (for example) play one page a week, but rather is a compilation of tips and teaching techniques with musical examples, photos, etc... compiled over a lifetime of instruction.

For me, I found them to give me additional and often creative ways to explain many of the same topics I've stressed with my students over the years.
