I have made a stab at compiling a complete (I hope!) list of tutors and tunebooks for uilleann pipes. You can view my list at:
http://cberdoll.home.texas.net/tutors.htm
I welcome any additions or corrections, for instance, is The Golden Eagle a uilleann pipes tunebook or just a general tunebook? I decided not to include pipemaking/reedmaking materials on my list, just tutors and tunebooks. Please let me know what you think.
Cool! More titles to choose from. Time to check the status of my checking account as I foresee a few purchases in the near future. Thanks David.
It’s a general collection compiled with the whislte in mind but does it really matter when you can sit down and play any tune from it on the pipes? And wouldn’t you think the Ceol Rinnce na h Eirrean volumes far more essential than some books you did include? it’s very hard to draw a line especially as you don’t really want to separate the instrument from the larger body of irish traditional music. that said, did you include Ceol an Phiobaire? [and why are they taken so long to get the follow up volume off the ground? Work began, what is it, five years ago?]
Dave, the Tadhg Crowley book hasn’t been available for a long time. Perhaps you should mark it as an historical reference only, else remove it. The Rowsome Tutor is now part of the Rowsome Collection. I don’t know if it is still offered separately. If it was your intent to list every tutor whether still available or not, don’t forget the Patsy Tuohey tutor.
Peter, is there anything special or remarkable about the Ceol an Phiobaire book, i.e. does it have special arrangements or notation for piping that would make it worth purchasing, especially considering all the other tune books already available?
Thx,

Ceol an Phiobaire has transcriptions from pipers that appeared in An piobaire until 1978, the proposed second volume was supposed to cover later issues. With the Clancy and Touhey book it’s the only collection that is fully dedicaed to setting pipers actualy played. Does that make it worth the bother? Up to you, if you’re interested in what the old pipers did 
I am, and will pursue. Thanks for your help.

The Seamus Ennis tutor, edited by Robbie Hannon and Wilbert Garvin, does a nice job on Seamus’ behalf.
Yes, but the forthcoming Pat Mitchell book(s) are supposed to be definitive.
It seems that Ceol an Phiobaire is out of print, too.
