I am not really sure whether this is the book that I am reviewing, but since the title (and the number of pages) are the same (even though the publisher is different), I think that it's the same book. What I have is probably the original version which was published decades ago, unlike this new reprint (Mar. 2000). This book contains virtually every song sung by ABBA. Each song has piano score, lyrics, and chords. The quality of scores is reasonable. That is, they are not "easy" version. But they may not be the same as the ones in the sheet music which had been published individually. I cannot verify for every score, but at least, Chiquitita in this book and Chiquitita in sheet music are different. And of course, the sheet music's quality is higher. The piano part in Chiquitita in the book is a little bit disappointing. It does not have the original beauty in the opening. However, it is still the best source of ABBA's music. Don't waste your time in looking for ABBA's sheet music in eBay. This one book will just do it. I am very glad that I got this book. If you are an ABBA fan, you will. BTW, does anyone know how to type "B" in reverse (aka as ABBA form) ? I argue that there must be a special char code for the "ABBA" B, just because of ABBA. It is a crime to print like "ABBA" ! :-)

How can you resist the sensational 70s pop group ABBA who redefined a look! Great!
