2.0 out of 5 stars Poor print quality sheet music, December 29, 2004
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Too Marvelous for Words -- The Magic of Johnny Mercer: Piano/Vocal/Chords (Paperback)
Plain and simple, this sheet music collection has a good number of interesting songs, but the print quality is very poor. The guitar chords are unreadable on some songs, and the piano music, while readable, isn't crisp at all. It looks like a cheaply bound photocopy.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Too Marvelous for Words -- The Magic of Johnny Mercer: Piano/Vocal/Chords (Paperback)
"Too Marvelous for Words" is a perfect title for the book of Johnny Mercer songs I purchased. "Too Slow to Be Believed" is a perfect title for the delivery of the purchase. It took over 10 days just to get the book shipped, and then it arrived at my door weeks - not days - later.

If you want something in a timely manner this is not the sales venue for you.
