I'm sure this has been covered before, but at least on a quick search I couldn't find. What are recommended 2/1 books? In particular is the 2/1 book by Rodwell/Grant recommended? :(

I learnt 2/1 initially from Hardy's book, which I personally enjoyed reading.

There are a few differences between his approach and Lawrence's, and I think the latter author's version is more "standard".

This thread may be of interest.

Includes a link to Rodwell articles on 2/1 if you are thinking about getting his book. I haven't read the book or seen any reviews. I've read some of the articles though. Liked em.

My favorite intro to 2/1 is Mike Lawrence's CD.

All the books I read so far on 2/1 kind of sucked. There Rodwell still to read, though.

Not the one by Lawrence, I think.

I highly recommend Mike Lawrence's 2/1 CD. Its very well done, easy to follow and planty of examples.

Have not read Lawrence's 2/1 book, but should be the same material, except CD is expanded.
