Lots of good tunes, mostly well written though there are still some errors and omissions, such as standard intros or endings that are left out. If used regularly the book soon starts falling apart , mostly because the cheap plastic comb . It would be better to have a metal wire coil to hold it together. The fake books I have with a metal wire have never needed replacement even after heavy use.

I had the 5th edition for Eb and there were a lot more jazz standards in it. I had hoped to have more or less the same tunes so I didn't have to transpose everything but I'm not recognizing a lot of the tunes in this edition. That said, there's plenty of music in this book, it's just that I'll have to go back to transposing...

Solid set of tunes in a sweet standard issue Real Book plastic binding. It ain't a Sher metal spiral binding but we know that going in. For the money it's well worth it. I have Vol1 first edition from 1980 and it is falling apart. Was nice to get a new updated version.

More and better formatted content than the "other" Real Book. I bought Vol2 also, in the mini format for comparison. Mini is readable from music stand distance. Both sizes have their place I'd say.

Great tool for the working musician, and for years pretty much the standard for "standards."

So glad I found this classic. Pages were yellow with age but the condition is pristine. Thanks for hooking me up!

This book has a ton of music with chord symbols above the notes which is very helpful. It was in great condition.

Just what was expected.

The book is described as "new" , a more accurate description would be "new bootleg". It is a xerox copy with flimsy plastic spline.

Great book of songs for the jazz guitar player, and for other instruments as well. Contains many many jazz standards, from simple to complex. As a beginning jazz guitarist, it's an essential part of my reference library.
