4.0 out of 5 stars Not the Most Inclusive Selection of Songs, August 7, 2004

By	Beabea (Chicago, Illinois USA) - See all my reviews

The songs are written for an intermediate level pianist and they are arranged nicely. I am only giving this four stars because many of Cole Porter's best-loved songs are not included. For example, there is nothing from "Anything Goes" and "Kiss Me Kate". It is disappointing that so many gems were left out. On the plus side, the biography is nice and there are some nice photos.

3.0 out of 5 stars cole Porter, March 7, 2008

By	Charmian Brooks - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Music and Lyrics by Cole Porter, Vol. 2 (Paperback)

Aside from the fact that this book does not contain several great songs, it does not open properly on the piano making it difficult to turn the pages and keep the book open.
