I know this subject has been beaten to death on the other forum but I haven't seen one here yet. I'm curious to know what are people's opinions on this topic...

rogerch It's amazing what the editors of these books call "Easy"!

I have yet to find a single "easy" book I find easy, but I'm so grateful for all the help I get here, from you and all the other experienced players. I don't think we beginners could possibly have a better deal than we do here, with so many of you willing to go out of your way to help. I hope the advice keeps rolling in, because I'm taking notes and learning a tremendous amount from you all. Thank you.

I second that! Really really grateful for all the help and encouragement. I'm learning a lot as well! Most of all patience 😃

This! 😆👍

And this is the reason Christian Fuchs had named the first 16 Blues lessons "for Beginners", and after this he named it "Easy". For beginners (bloody, total, early, or real beginners, you name it), "easy" is really hard.

Btw, thanks to @plop_symphony I found a series of books for a reasonable price. (also available at amazon.bavaria)
Improve Your Sight-Reading! Piano Grades 0, ¹/₂ , 1-8 from Paul Harris, Faber publishing.
And it is available as paperback and kindle versions.
