I haven't done any etude/method book stuff since my first year of school where Prof. Bradetich had all his new students- freshmans, transfers, and grad students doing certain etudes in the Int. Kreutzer book and The Bille Method book five #5. Everybody who was willing to work on this stuff every day improved leaps and bounds in their technique.
The Streicher books sound good. You can learn a lot from working on different kinds of actual pieces, but I am thinking out checking out these books in hope of finding some good etudes to work on specific things technique-wise.
