I think this is a great collection of songs in a great format. I disagree with the previous reviewer who preferred the larger format, standard sheet music sized books. I think the 6x9 inch size (which is even stated in the item's title) is great for throwing in a gig bag and carrying around. Granted, the glued binding makes it harder to keep open than some other formats, but with a little bending, it stays open just fine.

After years of transcribing songs myself, or getting inaccurate versions off of the internet and carrying around a big binder full of printouts, I found that this collection of Hal Leonard chord songbooks in small format is perfect for me.

If you like having the lyrics and accurate chord transcriptions (this is not note-for-note transcription, but chords only) in a portable format to bring to gigs or parties, then this book and the others in this series are for you.

It's a great collection of music, but it is *not* legible on the Kindle (at least the smaller size that I have) and there seems to be no way to zoom or enlarge the screen (the text enlarging only changes the table of contents, not the lyrics and chords). I take it all back if there's some way to zoom that I don't know about, but I'm frustrated that they'd sell it for the Kindle if there's no way to read it.

I use these little books with my students quite often. A quick way to pull up an accurate version of some popular songs that can be strummed around the campfire. Can't be beat for the price.

very good song book but same as my other review, wish the book was bigger so it would stay open when you play it.

Very good guide to various acoustic songs, most you will recognize. Accurate chords and enough variety that you will appreciate having it.
Great book for a beginning to intermediate guitarist.
