Andante cantabile

In the short time I have have worked on this book it has become one of my favourites. It was "composed to develop 'positive playing' at an advanced level", and it is meant to "incorporate many of the musical elements encountered by players of today".
I am sure that many of the contributors to this forum are already familiar with it, and I therefore will not describe in detail. Most of the etudes are two pages, some only one. And they seem to range mostly from Grade 6 to Grade 8.
This book is probably about as "modern" as I ever will require, but I suspect it is still some distance from being truly contemporary. I bought it as an afterthought, and it has paid off. BTW, the printing is exceedingly clear.
What do others think of it?
