This is an amazing assembly of some of Gilbert and Sullivan's most famous and loved songs, with selections from all of their operettas. (Note: It is not the full operetta scores, does include the main songs from each.)
I have only onecomplaint with this book. I would have liked a spiral spine so I could play the music on the piano.
