Critics’ Viewpoint

These two books are considered to be classics - and with good reason. The clarity of writing, the simplicity of the teaching, the light style and the well organised and logical progression of the subject matter combine to make them hard to beat as guides for beginners and early improvers. Kantar’s wry humour is always detectable in the background. It’s good news all round that these classics have been re-issued, and with revisions by Seagram that have only improved them.
