Buyer beware - there are two versions of this book listed under the exact same title, and nowhere on Amazons' description does it mention this. The "Blue cover" contains more advanced arrangements, the "Yellow cover" is for beginning players (try clicking the "see larger photo" link on the yellow copy - notice at the top of the image it says "Easy piano solos"). Since Amazon fails to mention this, make sure you get the one you want. I bought the "blue" copy and am reasonably satisfied, especially given the price. Don't however be mislead that the "blue" book will be too advanced for you if you have been playing piano for more than a little while. The arrangements in the "blue" book are themselves quite easy.

This music book is GREAT! Eventhough the songs are not in their original arangement, they still sound great and are not too hard to play. A must-have for any beginner pianist who wants to experience some fun, light-hearted jazz! (Pianists in the intermediate level should try to find the 'blue copy' of this; that has the same songs, just in their original form!) My personal favorites are "You're in Love, Charlie Brown," "Charlie Brown Theme," and "Peppermint Patty." If you're looking for a very good arangement of "Linus and Lucy," however, look eleswhere. Other than that, I very HIGHLY recommend this musicbook!
