Hal Leonard publishes five different versions of this book. They're all called "Best Songs Ever", they all have an (almost) identical front cover page, and they all have an (almost) identical song list of over 70 songs, but they vary in difficulty from easiest ("E-Z Play Today") up to much more difficult ("Piano/Vocal/Guitar").At the top center of the front cover page, there are two or three little words which tell you which version you have, as follows, starting with the easiest version, in order of difficulty:(a) Best Songs Ever - E-Z Play Today(b) Best Songs Ever - Easy Guitar(c) Best Songs Ever - Big-Note Piano(d) Best Songs Ever - Easy Piano(e) Best Songs Ever - Piano/Vocal/Guitar has not made this very clear, and has aggregated together the reviews from several versions, so you can be looking at (e.g.) the web page for the "Easy Piano" version but be reading a review of (e.g.) the "Big-Note Piano" version. Worse still (as of Nov 2013) the "Look Inside" preview pages shown for both "E-Z Play" and "Big Note" are actually pages from the "Easy Piano" version.Accurate sample pages are available elsewhere, e.g. at sheetmusicplus.com, which also has the list of songs for each version.Here is a rough comparison of the different versions:(a) Best Songs Ever - E-Z Play Today:=============================Beginning level. Treble clef only, with single-note melody and lyrics (plus chord names for left hand). Very large print. Five treble clefs per page. Most songs fit on two facing pages (just a few are longer and require page-turns). Each note has the note's letter name printed in the circle of the note head.
