Summary: Well-presented and a lot of fun
Review: Simple clawhammer arrangements of a lot of folk and other songs, grouped by category ("A parcel of rogues", "All over this land", etc.) and with a short introduction to each song. Most of the tunes are what you'd expect from a book of this type (Shady Grove, Sweet Betsy from Pike, etc.) but there are a few from left field - a whole section on Stephen Foster, for example, and a few Jewish tunes which are arranged quite well. If you already own a book or two of folk tunes, you can probably do without this, but it's a great book for someone just starting out on the banjo (it was for me!)

Summary: Hundreds of songs arranged for clawhammer banjo
Review: This book has hundreds of songs arranged for clawhammer bano. The tabulature is targetted at intermediate banjo players, and lists chords and lyrics. If you are going to carry only one book with you, this book might be it by virtue of it breadth of songs. I wish I had bought this sooner, as I wouldn't have needed to buy several other books to expand my repetoire. 90% of the songs are in standard open-G tuning. The remaining 10% is split up between G-Modal, C, Double-C. There was even a new tuning I had never heard before, where the 2nd string is tuned down a half-step to B-flat. This is even a more haunting tuning than G-modal, and my favorite song in this tuning is a cowboy song named Buffalo Skinners. The beginning of the book lists chord positions for the various tunings, descriptions of the tunings, techniques for playing accompaniment, a few licks. Overall, this is an excellent book for intermediate clawhammer player.
