Comprehensive manual of 263 numbered pages and I think they are being on the safe side calling it basics. I don't know much about country-western dance so it may be that there are just a lot of the various dances and steps included but the content is all you would want it to be. A number of photos. Nothing fancy but ideal for the purpose intended and should get the job done. Very Good with minor wear or blemishes. Self-published, name of former owner inside.
