A friend of mine acquired a piano accordion from a deceased relative and we thought we'd buy him a how-to book for fun -- and then discovered there weren't any out there that music store employees were aware of. Of course he should learn from a real person, but barring that, does anybody know where he could either get a book showing how to play the instrument or some site where he could get a video tutorial?
Sadly, (serious) PA is increasingly a dying genre al least in the US. With so little respect in such a big market, not too much material to support people interested in the instrument.

Google David DeGuiseppe.
He has a nice line of irish oriented PA books.
