There are a lot of basic uke books out there (including some by Jim Beloff), but if you already play a little guitar and want to go beyond 3-chord folk songs, there aren't that many books to help you. This one does. A useful, second-stage instruction book that ends with an introduction to chord solos. I've had great fun with it.
Jim Beloff has created a small industry collecting old ukulele tunes, editing them, adding chord symbols and publishing them in books like this. This particular collection is one of my favorites, along with Beloff's "Ukulele Favorites". Both books offer around 30 tunes and a very complete set of chord charts for the price of a couple of sets of strings. Not bad.
I've played guitar for more than 40 years and I invested a bit of time into deciding which instruction books would have me picking up the ukulele as quickly as possible. This book is among, if not, the best for doing just that. I particularly liked the selections which allow you to play instrumentals of older favorites quickly and easily.
Every uke player should own this.
