I bought this book based on the "Look Inside" feature. The look inside feature takes you to a very different book - one with pictures and piano sheet music. The book presented here is a small paperback. It contains the lyrics and the melody line only - not suitable for piano.

Note: if you want to use the book when playing an instrument, the book is an average sized paperback. This means the print is rather small, and keeping the book open for a song is somewhat difficult.Lots of songs here, many I have never heard of. Still quality music, written with visible chords for guitar.To play the songs on my guitar, I had to print the songs on single sheets of paper. A good variety of beautiful music.

This book has most of the really great songs you would expect but it is far from complete and some of the songs are only partially there. Overall, it's a good book, the print is very small and it won't stay open well on the piano music rack.
