fun, varied and useful
an exemplary choice of American styles from 3 centuries, this book has some good teaching material and a useful selection of music to perform from when you need something a bit different from Beethoven! A good book for your piano library.

pretty good variety
This book has 42 pieces of varied difficulty and includes mostly what I would call popular culture numbers--everything from a great arrangement for piano of Leroy Anderson's "Sleigh Ride" to jazz, blues and rag classics. Three of the 42 are also in the Masters of American Piano Music (Alfred Masterwork)...
