I have been using this every day since receiving it. The amount and diversity of songs is wonderful. They are perfect for me as I have intermediate piano skills. They are challenging but not overwhelming. The book is very thick but I use clothespins to hold the pages open so not a problem and I'm sure after a while I won't have to even do that. Love the book, no complaints.
