The claim is made on the front cover that this is 'The first complete tutor for
the Anglo-Chromatic Concertina.' This is complete nonsense!

This is the 'thinnest' of the currently in-print Anglo concertina tutors, both in
terms of the number of pages, and content - only 10 tunes in this very poor tutor....

The illustrations of the concertina ends are aligned 'vertically'.

This means:

If you rotate the page to get the right-hand end shown horizontally
(as is usual), the image of the left-hand end show more is 'upside-down', and
above the right-hand end rather than to the left.

If you rotate the page to get the left-hand end shown horizontally
(as is usual), the image of the right-hand end is 'upside-down', and
above the left-hand end rather than to the right.

Wonderful!

The explanation of how to use the tutor is inconsistent, confused, and confusing.

Here is an attempt at a 'diagram' of the asymmetric button numbering scheme used in this tutor.
It might seem strange to attempt such a diagram in a text 'review', but this numbering scheme
makes a FUNDAMENTAL contribution to the working of the tutor. Get this WRONG and the whole
tutor is WRONG. Get it RIGHT and the whole tutor is RIGHT. This is WRONG.
