Hi Everyone,
Does anyone use this scales book? There are images of a few pages on Amazon and it looks quite clean, simple (to start) and well organized:
I'd love to hear of good beginner / intermediate alternatives to the fuzzy, 10th generation photocopies I've borrowed.
Thx,
Holly

Holly,
There are several "scale studies" on imslp.org (which also has almost all of the Wohlfahrt, Mazas, etc studies). This is the one I like:

For everyone's reference, in case you haven't found it, the following link is an index into a wealth of violin (mostly classical, etudes, etc.) sheet music.

I don't suppose this is any use? (I don't know what level you want)

I recently got 'Scales' by Simon Fischer, it had very good reviews on it and it does progress from fairly easy to very difficult. It is a bit pricey though. (I haven't found the time to use it yet though, still reading the instructions)
I have his other book 'The Violin Lesson' as well and it is very very detailed.

My copy of Basics by Simon Fischer arrived today. It was cheap and second hand and contained some penciling that took about 20 seconds to erase.
Exhaustive though it seems, I can't see how you can play the G string then the A string or the E string with smooth détaché bowing, shucks!

@Gordon Shumway I'm not sure if you're using etudes, but Wohlfahrt's op45 etude no 27 has an example of such a string crossing, (I can't do them,... YET). Here is a demonstration:
