Once upon a time almost everybody learned to fly on a tailwheel aeroplane. And soloed inside 10 hours. There's no big deal - just do it and enjoy...
If you've been taught to land and take off properly on a nosewheel machine you'll have no real difficulty. I can see MLS's point but the book is a good read, and why not get ahead, because a decent instructor will cover what's in it during your initiation into the upper echelons of the aviation fraternity (or sisterhood). But, SSHHHHh... don't tell anybody the truth when you're signed off - keep the image going about people who fly a/c with a 'training wheel' on the front.....
