The Ultimate Christmas Fake Book: for Piano, Vocal, Guitar, Electronic Keyboard and All C Instruments (Fake Books) [Plastic Comb] Review

First, there seems to be a discrepancy with the picture of the songbook's cover shown above.

I have posted a customer image of the songbook's actual cover (which is beautiful in and of itself).

Obviously, the incorrect image above is from an earlier 3rd edition. Notice the old cover says over 200 songs... well, this updated edition now has 275 songs.

Also, this book now has 231 pages as opposed to the 160 pages mentioned above under "Product Details".

Edit 12/07/08: Ok... I hadn't checked in a very long time, but obviously Amazon has removed the incorrect image that I just made mention of... so you can ignore that part of this review.

I love this book!

I am an amateur pianist and enjoy playing from this fakebook very much.

This is a great selection of Yuletide favorites represented in melody lines, lyrics and chords.

Seemingly, most of the titles you'd look for are in this collection as well as a lot of lesser-known ones.

I have listed the complete contents below.

Please take care to make sure enough of 'your' favorite Christmas tunes are listed there so that you don't regret buying the book.

I heartily and heartfully recommend this Christmas songbook to you!
