Christine Bendorf I purchased a used copy of this, but it looks pretty much new- which is great! My package arrived a lot earlier than expected. It arrived less than a week of ordering it although my order said it could be 1-3 weeks. Prior to getting this book, I was using The Technique of Orchestration by Kent Kennan and Donald Grantham.

I have no regrets but if you have any concerns, go the library and do a comparison for yourself.
