I have books 2,3,4 in this series and book two is the best of those. There are a couple of pieces I don't like but that is personal preference. The remainder are fun and interesting in both parts. I play duets almost every week and have a lot of books. If this book was landscape to minimise the page turning I would give it five stars. The spiral binding also means it sits flat on the music stand and stays open.

we go back to this book time and time again, which says it all! it is intermediate difficulty, and very very enjoyable. Even if you are advanced you will probably enjoy this. I have versions of some of these pieces in other books in landscape format which means that there are twice as many bars per page and far less page turns so I don't use the book for those pieces. I think it would be better in landscape format and a bit smaller font to minimise page turning.
