I'm sure Winslow's book is great, but I don't see why that means Glover's book isn't. 

I feel obliged to point out that many of the people on this list, including Winslow, myself, and a number of well-known pros, learned a lot from Tony Glover's book "Blues Harp."  I certainly sounded a lot better after I read that book than before.  In fact, Glover was the reason I went to Oak Publications with the manuscript that was eventually published as "Jazz Harp"; I figured that if they were good enough for Glover, they were good enough for me.

In short, so far as I'm concerned, Tony Glover can do no wrong.
