This review is from: H. M. S. Pinafore (Dover Thrift Editions) (Paperback)

The "Look Inside!" feature on amazon shows the full piano score for this edition, however this is *just* the libretto. 64 pages of words without the music.

This is the most accurate version of this Operetta by Gilbert and Sullivan that I've seen. It has all of the original music and dialogue in it. It is EPIC!

This review is from: H.M.S. Pinafore Vocal Score (Paperback)

This product arrived as described with no marking, however, it took longer than usual to get to me because of faulty addressing to the wrong zip code.
