What I enjoy about this book it contains most all the songs I played when fake books were illegal. No rock and roll, just good old easy listening jazz songs. The problem I find with most fake books they contain a third of the songs I never have heard. This has a few, but most all I knew from the past and enjoy playing them. This jazz book deserves an A+ in my personal opinion. There was one song that had no chords showing throughout the song. I am sure I will find it in another book and transpose them.

Most of these fake books are for groups who don't sing so I can understand leaving out a few verses to shorten the book, which is already gigantic. But sometimes there are songs that have several nice verses and the book only provides one. Keep that in mind if you are a vocalist thinking you will sing the entire song from this book. You'll sing one verse and one chorus for the majority of tunes. After that you will have to find the rest of the lyrics somewhere else. For instrumentalists the book is a good place to start. A ton of songs with all the chords and melody written out. Few awkward page turns. In fact, there are only a few page turns that I've found. It's laid out so you can mostly read the whole tune without turning a page. The print is good, not tiny. But no one would say it's too big either. I'd buy it again.Read full review
It is an excellent facebook, that I have used in the U.S. and in my travels (the mini edition). Has a great range of tunes, including many standards and jazz tunes by many composers. The print is smaller than typical facebooks or Real Books, but that allows more tunes per page. The chord changes are well done, with not many (but some) embellishments compared with, say, The New Real Book series. But for working musicians, they are fine. A welcome addition to anyone's collection. After 20 plus years, the back cover came off my multi-spiral binding, as frequently happens. I gave it to a musician friend and bought a new one1

The chordal spelling is outsourced and reliable by a Kodaly master and will be invaluable.
