Summary: Buy it if you love the Beatles.
Comment: The book has 200 songs, there are chord diagrams, and the vocal notes seem pretty accurate. Each and every song is on one page or on two adjacent pages so that NO page turning is need for any song. This apparent blessing may also be a curse for those who don't have Eagle eyes, since the cleff is very, very small. Has almost any song you would want to play, Elinor Rigbie is the only notable song that I found missing. [its] is a little pricey, but any authentic beatles fan who's a musician should buy this book.

Summary: right on pitch
Comment: I'm a piano teacher who is having fun introducing my teen students to the Beatles songs, both famous and obscure, from the simple early ones to the interesting later ones. This book is wonderful for two reasons: As other reviewers have noted, the chords given fit the recordings, and the songs are accessible to intermediate level pianists.
The Beatles songs are now part of the classic pop repertoire; even jazz singers at the Algonquin Hotel in New York City include them. This book will be a valuable addition to your piano/guitar library.

Summary: hey, it's a FAKE book
Comment: This is far more accurate than any other fake book. And unlike most of them, every key matches the recording.
Of course you don't get all the details. If that's what you want, Wolf Marshall's guitar books are the best.
If you like turning pages in the middle of each verse and then turning back to 'del signo' you'll be reall happy with the complete scores.
But if you want the whole song on one page, this is the ticket. Someone put some hard work into this little sucker.
I use a fine point pen to copy the harmonies from the scores.
Sometimes I even write the bass line in using an alternate color.
Works for me.
I like getting thru entire songs without stopping to turn pages.
