You Can't Practice Enough by .. H. Rosenkrans (Seattle, WA USA)
This book was recommended to me by my sax teacher, who also plays trumpet. It is a well compiled source of exercises that augments the existing library of saxaphone methods and there are great classical excerpts for reading exercises

Arban's method better in spiral bound by .. T. Eckrich (Indianapolis)
I am a euphonium player. I purchased Arban's method book for trumpet to read trebel clef. This older edition of Arban's, while inexpensive, used a glued binding. The stiffness of the binding made it inconvenient to position on the music stand. I subsequently purchased the more recently published edition in bass clef for euphonium and trombone. This version was about twice as expensive, but is spiral bound and is very convenient to use. BOTH BOOKS ARE THE STANDARD METHOD BOOKS FOR BRASS PLAYERS AND ARE EXCELLENT IN THAT REGARD.

Arban trumpet book by .. Joan B. Orcutt (Ellicott City, Maryland)
My daughter has been using this book ever since she was fortunate enough to meet a certain famous trumpet player from New Orleans when she was 11 years old. He took the time to speak one on one with her and after hearing how dedicated she was to practicing, told her he wanted her to start using this book. Very cool! She began using it with her private teacher and just as Brian Tomcik said previoulsy, had taped pages all over the place. (I would recommend getting the book spiral bound, as my Arban's is covered in all types of tape. A previous reviewer said that the Arban's wasn't her trumpet bible - I'm willing to bet she stinks at playing the trumpet because of it. ) I took it to Kinko's had them laminate the covers so they would be sturdier and then spiral bind it, and it has been MUCH easier to use! It has been 5 years since she first got the book, and besides her high school and lesson music, it is THE book that lives on her music stand at home! It IS the trumpet bible!

Absolutely Essential by .. Music Is Everything (Colorado Springs, CO USA)
As a professional trumpeter and trumpet instructor, I've found no other book that even approaches the Arban. From Doc Severinsen to Maurice Andre to Chris Botti and every kind of trumpeter in between, this is the book that created a foundation for all of them. Reading the other reviews here, I understand that (with exception of the characteristic studies, duets, and solos in the back of the book) this is a book of exercises. In fact, it's sort of a "Sears catalog" of trumpet exercises. And no, exercises are usually not very interesting or fun. However, it's the gains you make from the exercises that matter, and most kids age 12 and up actually appreciate the structure and routine. Once students have a correct embouchure, range to the top of the staff and basic articulation, they should move on to the Arban book. The sky is the limit from there.

The Trumpeter's Bible by .. Martha Mullins (Selma, Alabama USA)
I have had my Arban's since I began playing the trumpet. My copy was passed down to me by my band director Mr. Kilmury who was also a trumpeter. He told me upon giving it to me that I was to cherish it and learn from it because it was like the bible of trumpet playing. To this day those words hold true. Arban's has everything a trumpet player needs to help them from the beginning onto professional playing. My copy is old now and falling apart... but I still play from it and hold it dear to my heart.

If you are a trumpeter, buy this for yourself. If you know a trumpet player, surprise them with a copy of this. Believe me they will thank you for it.
