5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Music, August 2, 2005

By	Dolores Powell "avid reader" (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The "Best of Cole Porter" far exceeded my expectations for beautiful music. The arrangements are complex enough for the advanced pianist, but also easily practiced by the beginner. The songs selected, are a delight.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Have for Cole Porter Lovers, August 19, 2000

By A Customer

If you love Cole Porter's music there is nothing better than this collection of songs. I've made use of every song. Each one of the pieces are from some of his best works. It's a nearly perfect combination of some of the greatest songs ever written. One minor disappointment is that it doesn't contain more, or that there isn't other volumes of the same book. Basically, if you need/want a collection of Porter's music there isn't any reason why you shouldn't have this book. :-).

5.0 out of 5 stars A great gift for any Cole Porter Fan, July 9, 2001

By	Yoshitsune (Planet Earth) - See all my reviews

"The Best of Cole Porter" contains some of his best songs ever (in my opinion at least). The only thing that would make this item better is if it contained all of Mr. Porter's songs. For anyone not to familiar with Cole Porter, this book offers a great introduction to his music.
