This PPM Deluxe Anthology contains around 80 songs, many of which are also in the PPM Song Book with its 32 song titles. In fact, in the latter there are only about 5-6 additional songs e.g. don't think twice its alright, when the ship comes in, very last day, the times they are a changing, three ravens.

Many lesser known titles can be found here and it must be a joy to play these song for the genuine PPM folknik!

To be honest, I'm 50 years old, and I was NOT a huge fan of Peter, Paul and Mary during the 1960's. But they did several songs I wanted music for to play at home on my piano, and this really is a wonderful collection of MOST of their major hits. A few are missing (The Wedding Song, recorded long after the 1960's, I believe; 500 Miles). The arrangements are interesting, moderately difficult to play, but very enjoyable. I'm delighted with this product.

I love Peter Paul and Mary. Their albums were always full of wonderful music arrangements and styling. This book has guitar chords and a wide selection of songs from their long music careers together. If you were into PPM or are just hearing their music now, this is a good book for learning and playing their songs.

Wonderful collection. You can find a list of the songs at [...]. I wish Amazon would include a list of the contents on their page. I was looking for a particular song and would have paid the price of the book just for that song.

These are tunes used by PP&M, but they are not the original arrangements. They are generally simple piano material with guitar chords added. OK as is, but deluxe it's not and anthology is a stretch.

I appreciate this anthology but was looking for a song that's not in it. I still love their work and am glad to have this and can heartily recommend it. The lyrics I need are online and I'll treasure this and find the rest elsewhere.

It 'an' excellent anthology of texts and musical scores. It is all very well for those who want to exercise with the guitar.

I've always liked Peter, Paul & Mary music, but this book is full of their lesser known songs. Out of over 70 songs I knew only about 8 of them. I wish Amazon had made an index page available to see just what songs were included. Most of the songs were written in an easy to play key. Keep in mind that most of their songs are "war protest songs" not "folk songs". I would not recommend this book unless you are really in to PP&M and acquainted with lots of their songs.
