Recommended for Beginning to Intermediate Players

I'm an intermediate fiddler, and found this book to be very helpful. It's not 100% inclusive of every topic you can imagine, but covers the basics quite well. After reading this, you'll have a good understanding of the instrument. This is one I'll keep in my library as a reference, and I hope they build on this with updated editions.

Should Come With Every Violin

This book is remarkable in its presentation. Not a shop manual or history book, it even includes a glossary at the back for the benefit of those of us who don't know violin terminology. As you read through each of the articles, you get a feeling that the authors are talking to you directly. It covers every topic necessary to care for your violin. Most, if not all, of my questions about my favorite instrument were answered. This book is truly the manual that should come with every violin.
