Methods, etudes, exercises...
Well, back to the cello, finally!
I'm wondering what you all find useful exercise-wise. I've done a
volume and a half of Karl Schroeder, two-thirds of Alwin Schroeder's
Vol 1 (which I enjoy immensely), two or three Suzukis, some Sevcik
(and I'm sure that's spelled wrong!)... They're all on the graded
syllabus, which is nice, but I'm looking for something new to
exercise as many elements as possible - especiall good scale work.
And, of course, I'd like it to be interesting! 
Suggestions?

Yampolsky scales
Do you have the Yampolsky scale
book? You can spend a lifetime going through all the variations.
While not necessarily scale material, there's always Popper.
There's a nice edition of etudes for 2 cellos that's great for
working together with your teacher. And it doesn't seem like
drudgery.

You might try Percy Such's etude
collections. Books I-III are roughly the level of Schroeder Vol I.
Lee "Forty Melodious Etudes" is good. A little less advanced than
that but fun is Squire's "Twelve Easy Etudes" which I know you can
find at Hutchins and Rea. I would recommend doing the scale that
corresponds to the key the etude is in "straight", that is, practice
the actualy scale, and then reward yourself with an etude in that
key that is more "fun."

Thanks!
Thanks to you both; the Yampolsky
was precisely what I was looking for! I do in fact use scale studies
in connection with the key of whatever piece I'm working on, so this
is ideal.
