A decent introduction
3 stars
I got this book cheap from a thrift store, wouldn't necessarily recommend it at any price other than "cheap." It's a decent enough introduction, but most of this can easily be learned for free on the internet these days, and overall it may be of limited use to those who aren't looking to become classical-style composers. I would say most people who are already making music would probably not get much out of this book, but of course ymmv.
