Excellent piano book with plenty of good hymns. Perfect for my daughter for her piano lessons since we were having a hard time finding a good hymn book in the music stores. So many of the music stores have gone to the other styles of music. We enjoy this type of music. It has nice arrangements in the book so that she can play some specials in church. It has a lot of old hymns in it, plus a few that we had never heard before. Nice variety! Excellent hymn book for piano lessons or church playing!
