This is such a value. As a singer it has just what I need to learn or "fake" a song from the lead sheet with the chord notations. A budding guitarist "borrowed" my first copy permanently, so I'm on my second copy!
you can't enlarge the page .. Extremely difficult to see the notes. Can't print a page either. Many songs but what device is to be used so the songs can be seen? I'm sorry I wasted good money on this and I will never get another from Hal Leonard Corp.... Save your money....
This is a great song book addition for my music library. With 1200 songs in one Fake book, you can't go wrong. Oldies, not so oldies, and some newer stuff too.
I liked this book b/c it has about 30 big band favorites that I was interested in, as well as about 30 kids' songs that I'd like to learn, too, like "Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?" I loved that as a kid.
