these are not officially sanctioned lyrics; i'm not even sure how this book is legal- it gives no copyright credits to cobain at all. anyway- the lyrics are just fan trascriptions (excepting "nevermind" and "in utero" where the lyrics were given with the album, but you should have those lyrics right?). Many of the lyrics are OBVIOUSLY wrong, and the list of songs is woefully incomplete for the jacket's claim of featuring all of the band's obscure b-sides (more like three or four b-sides).

anyway, go to any nirvana fan site for free lyric transcriptions that are just as or more accurate than these, and boycott this shady publisher.

Think you know the words to ever NIRVANA tune? Think again! I found this small hardcover book simply a MUST HAVE item to truly know the lyrics to every NIRVANA track out there. With Kurt Cobain's imagination and knack for using strange, and exotic lyrics, and phrases in his songs, this tiny tomb is truly a valuable commodity. Rather than rattle on and on, I'll make this very simple: If you are a true NIRVANA fan, then BUY THIS BOOK! 5 stars all the way. Peace, Rockerdrew

No where does the book claim to be the complete collection of Nirvana lyrics. It clearly states on the jacket that the book includes "a selection of B-side singles and a handful of rare tracks to round out the collection."
Most importantly, the lyrics are what they are. Words put together to make a picture. What that picture says to you, may be different than what was originally intended.
A genius is no longer among us, and this book is a simple reminder of what once was is no more.
