The Peanuts Illustrated Songbook (Piano Solo Songbook) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is great in three ways: First, the music itself is first rate.The arrangements in the book are the real thing and are quite a bit more difficult than the "easy" piano versions.Second, there are great-looking comics on most every page, which makes it a joy just to look at.Lastly, there is a lengthy history of Peanuts and how Vince became involved with it.
The only aspect keeping this book from a 5 rating is the binding.The book wouldn't lay flat on the piano, which made it practically impossible to play.I brought it to Kinko's and got it spiral bound for about $4, and now it works great.Poor thinking on the publisher's part, though.
