Yes, Richard Hunter's book is great.

After that, I'd get Jamey Aebersold's Volume One package with CD. It's =
filled with scales, exercises, theory, etc. and only costs about the =
price of one harp. Once you work with that for a while you'll be ready =
to try a few standards, and a good place to start (besides Richard's =
Book) is with Jamey's "Maiden Voyage" book and CD.

Have fun.
