Just a Quick Comment5
I cannot actually rate the quality of the book (so I gave 5 stars to Bach), but I wanted to comment about another's review, that he/she wished there were more dynamics and markings. As I understand it, Bach provided virtually no dynamics, on purpose, for these pieces. This is why various CD's by differing artists can show quite a bit of difference in playing style. I've heard comparative playback of some of these by various celloists, and it is quite interesting. Bach left these out purposely, so feel free to provide your own interpretation.

Cello book4
This is a pretty good book for fiddling around with, but I wish it had more markings like dynamics and accents.

Good, clean copy5
Dover Publications are very good. Lots of room for notes. : ) Excellent price.
