Not exactly what I wanted but still a good dealBy scott newbyWell; the picture of the product; like the one on this page; led me to believe that I was getting the 4th edition. Actually even the 3rd edition I would have made me happy. I received the 1st edition. My main goal was to get one of the editions that had the song "Mona Lisa" in it as it was Janes arrangement with which one could follow along on her YouTube video of the song. This being said however; it would still be a great deal for someone who did not have the same unique concern as myself. That is; it contained 150 great songs and was in beautiful condition just as was described.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great songbook for piano and singersBy LLWow! When this arrived the sheer weight and width of the book was amazing. I was concerned as I often have to copy a page of a song to take to an audition and when I saw how much room there was on the side by the binding I knew I would be able to get a clean copy. This is a great book for anyone who loves beautiful songs for the piano or singing. No book will ever contain the exact 150 songs I would choose but this book has so many great songs that it will definitely take me some time to get through all my favorites. I would recommend this book for singers and pianists who play at the intermediate level.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Lots of sheet music!By Brent ButlerThis is a great selection of songs; with arrangements for intermediate to advanced players. The songs sound great as arranged here; so you can pick this up with confidence.
