Reviews
I love the songs, and the arrangements are easy to play for someone with my skill level. Unfortunately the physical book itself is not so wonderful--the binding is stiff, which means the pages don't stay open at the piano. I have had to resort to heavy objects. I'm probably going to take the book to the copyshop and have them cut off the binding and install a spiral binding. The book should have been spiral-bound to begin with.
