I saw the recommendation for the Clarke whistle instruction book by Bill Ochs in the last newsletter but I’m having trouble finding it (preferrably pocket-sized) at a store that sells a variety of other whistles. I’m thinking of getting a tabor, meg or doolin, but none of them seem to share a store with the pocket Clarke book. Any store ideas or good whistle book recommendations? I’ve searched Hobgoblin, Andy’s Front Hall, The Whistle Shop and Shanna Quay. And I can read sheet music and already play basic tunes, but I need to learn all that nifty sliding and cutting what-have-you. Think along the lines of Tin Whistle for Dummies… I’m a tad sleep-deprived. Okay… go nuts. 
There are several tutorial/CD sets listed in the Tutorals section of the Annex.
I know for sure that The Whistle Shop sells the full size version of Och’s book and they have plenty of whistles. Great service 
There’s no good reason why Shanna Quay doesn’t stock Bill Och’s book (I cant speak for the other stores, obviously). I’ll get onto it ASAP.
My personal favourite - very comprehensive - book is Geraldine Cotter’s Traditional Irish Tin Whistle Tutor.

I think it’s a good idea to get several books on whistle playing if you can afford it. Each author takes a different approach, and you will learn different things from each. Another excellent book that nobody has mentioned yet is LE McCullough’s classic guide.
Thanks… I’ll check those out, and I did find that The Whistle Shop has expanded their selection but I can’t order yet anyway. I was trying to find the items I want all together just to save shipping. I could just place my orders and to heck with the man, but then he’d want to know what I need more whistles for when I already have 3. Some people.
