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.

Good tunes, but I'd rather have a fake-book version with just lead lines, lyrics and chord calls of the songbook and save a lot of page turning.
