2.0 out of 5 stars Sheet music in novel form..., September 7, 2008

By	Katrina R. Wogoman "VFTGAL" (Sterling, VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: ACOUSTIC ROCK - PAPERBACK SONGS (Paperback)

I purchased this item assuming that it was a typical book of sheet music. You know, the over sized paperback book that fits nicely on a music stand and large enough print to where you don't have to sit with the book attached to your glasses to play it. This book is the size of a regular paperback novel, thick, hard to keep open ad even harder to read if you succeed. I gave it two stars because it delivers what it promises, good acoustic rock music. In reality the format of the book is so inconvenient that it's highly unlikely that you will be able to easily, or willingly, use it without scanning and enlarging it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great collection, April 1, 2009

By	A. Triolo (New Jersey) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I think this is a great collection of songs in a great format. I disagree with the previous reviewer who preferred the larger format, standard sheet music sized books. I think the 6x9 inch size (which is even stated in the item's title) is great for throwing in a gig bag and carrying around. Granted, the glued binding makes it harder to keep open than some other formats, but with a little bending, it stays open just fine.

After years of transcribing songs myself, or getting inaccurate versions off of the internet and carrying around a big binder full of printouts, I found that this collection of Hal Leonard chord songbooks in small format is perfect for me.

If you like having the lyrics and accurate chord transcriptions (this is not note-for-note transcription, but chords only) in a portable format to bring to gigs or parties, then this book and the others in this series are for you.
