i just saw this book on ebay for sale that i've never seen before. It comes with a cassette and is published by
Cherokee Point Productions and is written and illustrated by Jim Calhoun. Has anyone seen it? Is it worth purchasing? Says E6, E7 and E minor tunings. Figured I'd pick it up and if no one has heard of it I'll post a note on whether or not it's worth buying.

I've got this book.
Its 22 pages, of which 17 is tab exercises.
As the book intro says, its mostly aimed at beginners. It covers similar ground to the Arlen Roth video - i.e its blues/rock oriented but its all E tuning (doesnt have any G tuning section).
I'd recommend it for a guitarist who wanted to try out lap steel for the first time.
