A student asked me about classical ukulele books … She’d seen the Lute to Uke book by Tony Mizen https://amzn.to/2PznYTj, so I pointed her to the Baroque volume  https://amzn.to/2Tn9PKe and Romantic era volume https://amzn.to/3cdxAgt all by the same author. He’s a good arranger.

John King was the pioneer in this area, but his campanella arrangements tend to be on the difficult side: https://amzn.to/3cgOdI2

PDF Minstrel is a free resource with many arrangements or varying quality and difficulty:  https://pdfminstrel.wordpress.com/

If you like traditional folk tunes (used by many classical composers), this is an excellent book by master arranger Colin Tribe, all of which can be played as solos or more easily as duets (genius): https://amzn.to/2T6tJtS … He’s come out with Irish https://amzn.to/39b8CMu and American https://amzn.to/32D84fT editions as well.

Mark Nelson’s book on Fingerstyle Ukulele https://amzn.to/3cgEnWz also has some classical selections and it is one great book.

Samantha Muir has a site dedicated to Classical Ukulele at https://iloveclassicalukulele.com/

UPDATE: Another bunch of great resources on this come from Wilfred Welti whose site is https://www.ukulele-arts.com/?lang=en and includes a number of free resources on this page: https://www.ukulele-arts.com/tabs-and-e-books/?lang=en
