A concise introduction to pentatonic scales.
Practical Pentatonics is an excellent introduction to the pentatonic scales. Mr. Buk diagrams the minor and major pentatonic scales in standard notation and tabulature up and down the fretboard. He additionally presents some nice little riffs along with each position. After introducing us to the pentatonics, he introduces some useful techniques such as string bending, combining patterns and scales, arpeggios, string skipping and more.

This little book is loaded with example riffs that are very playable and usable. This is an excellent value.

Does what it says
The only criticism I can make is that it occasionally jumps from the basics to examples requiring a degree of technical facility that are probably some way beyond its target market - you need more than a set of scale diagrams to start ripping out Jimmy Page style licks convincingly

Excellent value for money
This book is great for people who want to learn the pentatonic scales. ALthough this book is short its straight to the point and gives you some licks to practice with each section of the book. Great value for money.
