This book is not very well-written. There are a few typos...probably because it just came out.
However, if you are a jazz bassist, the material is essential and very interesting. The analysis of LaFaro's music is well-done by competent musicians, with scores and transcriptions to enhance understanding.
If you are not a jazz bassist, but interested in the history of jazz, this book is also well worth the purchase.
