Since watching the 12 Blues Videos more things have sprung to mind about 'Blues music formula' than I had considered. The I, IV, V being probably the most notable formula(well in 12 bar, anyway).
So, from a (novice) harp players perspective, I consider blues harp learning to be made up of modules- Adam has some instructional video's on: turnarounds, ending the blues, 8 bar, blues scales, etc, etc but it's not (by his own admission), comprehensive.
If I wanted a pocket book of 'everything the budding harp player needs to know' a) what would it contain and, b) where can I find references to it so I can put it in my book?
Note: it's a pocketbook so pointing me in the direction of overblow.com isn't any good.
Oh, and by the way, I'm currently looking for something (advice/videos/tabs)- in a format similar to Adams stuff, that gives me something to do on 6-10.

How big are your pockets? :)
I really like the approach Winslow Yerxa has taken with his new Blues Harmonica for Dummies. I can't think of a better one-volume reference than that.
Dave Barret's stuff is also very good, but he has produced so many overlapping books, CDs and videos that it's hard to know where to start.

the blues scale, the pentatonic scale, first , second and third position, tongue blocking, licks and phrasing, how to put it together and years of obsessive/compulsive practice.
