The piano book is everything that I wanted, but the cover was damaged through shipping. Outside is a bit roughed up (with cuts and bents in the cover) but the inside is fine. I recommend the shipper to have better packaging. The Bubble wrap envelope won't really protect a bendable music score. Other than that, it arrived earlier on time.
These are beautiful full-length pieces. Definitely for the advanced pianist!
A clear and easily used offering of basic and beautiful piano pieces.
Very happy to have this music. Thanks.
