School History of North Carolina: from 1584 to the present time Book

Here's a blurb from my blog, where I wrote about this book before joining Goodreads:

This book has been recommended several times by a Talkbass member named JTE. I didn’t look into it until the other night because I have Music Theory for Dummies downstairs, and Bass Guitar for Dummies upstairs. Well, I found it online and realized that I leafed through this years ago at Barnes & Noble, but didn’t buy it then, because I didn’t yet know what music theory was or how it applied to bass. I thought, at the time, that I needed to look at bass-specific books (how-to-play). Now that I’ve read more, I can understand its value. Even more, I looked at some of the inside contents on the author’s website and really like how its presented, so I grabbed it. Amazingly, Amazon shipped it yesterday, and its supposed to arrive today. Its travelling halfway around the country to get here in what I consider record time.

After having gone through the book, I can say that it illustrates many music theory topics in memorable, evocative ways which help to enable understanding and recall of the topics. I really enjoy Edly's way of writing and would recommend this as a companion book to any musical method book that a student/learner uses for general instruction.
