There are a lot of pictures that add a lot to the text, including showing some different, less common instruments that didn’t get their own page in the book. There are a lot of different types of brass instruments, and this book does a great job of giving a basic knowledge of the main four instruments, as well as introduces some of the other more obscure ones.
