I think this book is a must buy for all beginners. The opening parts about assembling the sax, embouchere, breathing and all that other stuff really are the best I've seen and I would recommend it to all newbies to the sax. My teacher raved about it.
Now for the but: if (like me) you don't know how to read music and have no experience whatsoever with any instrument, I would recommend you also buy another book for this (ie 10 Easy Lessons is good). While it does dedicate a couple of pages to music reading, I found it really didn't go into enough detail for me and it made playing the tunes that follow a bit difficult (although it is starting to make sense now that I've had a few real lessons).
So, buy this book - it really is very good - but get another one to go with it if you're a total beginner.

I loved this book and CD so much that I sought out the author and spent a few years having lessons. This is a brilliant approach and the pieces are inspired - even lesson 2 sounds like real jazz! Have no hesitation - buy it!

I must have bought every book about saxophone for beginners and this one is surely one of the best. The CD is great and the exercises are excellent.

Very good sax method
Indeed a very nice method: I am enjoying it a lot and it really pulls you into the basics of Jazz Music. I think it should be a standard for beginners.
