My 9-step method, was Re: 37 Steps -- Here they are.

[John Ross]

I attended a Yamaha class at a convention, it was probably an all day class.
One of the handouts was the Yamaha Authorized Product Manual, 37 Step video 
book (Part of V37 Kit)
It has 172 pages, and explains the steps. It is supposed to be used in 
conjunction with the video.
I don't know if this means the book, might be sold separately.
