I finally received my pre-order of the Ukulele For Dummies book and it looks great. I've read through it for a couple hours. Over 300 pages full of great info. Also comes with a cd with almost 100 example tracks. It is all in a humorous style similar to the Ukulele Hunt blog posts by the author, Al Wood. If you're looking for a good book that's an overview of everything uke I think this is the book.
There seems to be a section on just about any style of music you could be interested in. The rock and blues sections look great. "4 chord nirvana style", "3 chord punk", "Iggy Pop strumming", "Bo Diddly Strumming", and a great sounding "AC/DC style riff" that will remind you of Back in Black etc. There's just one little track for each example but the ideas come through.
This isn't a thorough review or anything because I just got it but my first impression is I'm very impressed with it. I was getting kind of frustrated by the Fretboard Roadmaps book but I think I'll be spending a ton of time with this book. I'm going to go read some more right now.
