5 of 5 Stars!
"Worth every penny. I'm still a relative beginner, and it was a delight to get a book that had so many great tunes I could play right away. I've already picked out several to 'dress up' as I learn more about arranging. There is a wide range of good, playable songs. There are interesting historical notes on the tunes, and the CD's are invaluable for learning by ear, or just learning what the tune is supposed to sound like. A must for those of us just learning to read music! I consider Jo's book to be a great find. I use it right along with my tutor, for extra practice, and just because I enjoy the tunes. Can't go wrong with this one."
