Summary: Excellent Beatles Resource!
Comment: This is one of the best, if not the best, songbooks that I've ever come across. It has the musicial notation for virtually every instrument played on all Beatles songs, including tab for bass and guitars. I've found it to be amazingly accurate, though not perfect. I have only two complaints: 1. It is not 100% accurate; in some songs when the verses repeat, I have found differences in the recorded version from what's in the book; 2. The print is very small. Both these complaints are very negligible relative to the work as a whole. It's still the most accurate songbook of any rock and roll music that I've ever found, and the small print is quite understandable considering the sheer volume of Beatles songs. I highly recommend this book for any Beatles fan or serious musician.

Summary: Only a good start towards playing great songs.
Comment: The music covered in this book is wonderful, of course, but if you have a good ear you'll find many instances where you won't believe what you see on the page. A fairly simple example is "No Reply." The song is in a minor key, and if you have a trained ear, you know the chords are minor chords - - but the music is written here with all major chords. In addition, on the recording you'll hear sevenths which the sheet music doesn't mention.
The format could also be easier - - the songs are ordered alphabetically, but if you don't use the table of contents to find a song it will be difficult: the top margins don't have any key words to indicate the songs on the page.
But if you have a good ear, and are adequately suspicious of what you see on the page, the book will be a time saver. And for that, it's worth the money.

Summary: My Bible
Comment: I have read some of the negative feedback for this book, and I am pretty disgusted. This is the best book I have EVER SEEN.
It has identified 95% of the instruments on every Beatle song. People say that they have seen better stuff off the internet. They must be CRAZY!!! I have been getting crap off the internet for years. Most songs are incomplete. They say they will "tab the rest later". Yeah right! and some are even in the wrong key.
Yes, I will admit that there are typos, but you like the Beatles enough to buy this book, then you will know if its a G minor instead of a G major and that type of stuff.
People also complain about the typos in the lyrics. If you know the Beatles enough to purchase this book, then you know the lyrics anyway!!
People also complain how "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love" isn't in there. Well Hello!!!! This book wasn't even published until 1993, while the two songs mentioned came out in '95/'96.
Bottom line, this is the best you'll ever get. Yeah, the type is small, but it's not invisible. I have a blast dusting off any album and playing along, because it's all there.
