not what i expected
I own the glass passenger book and was really impressed by it. Everything in transit however was just a disapointment. Everything is just played over top of itself and is to busy. The piano treble is just the vocal melody line and isnt what is being played in the actual song. So if you intend to play this and sing or play it and expect it to be what andy plays up on stage youll be as disappointed as me. If you have a good background in piano however it will give you enough to transcribe a pretty good altenative right hand composition based on the bass clef (thats what ive been using it for). Worth it if youre just looking for something fun to play, not if youre expecting it to be the real sheet music of the album.

To the people looking to save on this product...
This is a way better price than you would get almost anywhere else or if you bought all the songs seperatly. It is also nice sheet music,and I found it very useful but I guess thaat depends on why you bought it

Not quite what I expected, but still good.
The book, while good in some respects, does not contain a lot of the more intricate parts of the songs. I also prefer sheet music that does not have the melody lines written in the piano part as this does. But beyond those down sides, overall the book is fairly good and a lot of fun to sit around with friends and play and sing. Definitely worth the buy if you like Andrew McMahon's music.

Great music, so-so sheets
Of course I love Andrew and his music unconditionally, but I hate it when the sheet music has the right hand playing the vocals! I already know how to sing the melody. Good for those who are still learning to play.. but I ended up transcribing a few songs that I like playing better.

Good, but different
I really, really love Jack's Mannequin, so I was happy to see that someone had the sheet music for it. It includes all of the songs, (including my favorite, "The Mixed Tape") and does a great job in regards to key/tones. The only thing I wished it had more of was the background music, instead of simply the melody lines. I would like to do more singing along than playing. Otherwise, it's wonderfully done.

Good music
I like the chords, and I love these songs. The only thing missing is the more elaborate interludes.

Good stuff
Love the band, great piano book. Songs arn't too hard to learn, I went straight for "Dark Blue", being one of my favourite songs, it sounds amazing. "The Mixed Tape" is one of the more tricky songs to learn, still working on that one. Was my first time buying from over seas, came a lot quicker than I thought it would in mint condition. No cons at all. A*

Everything in transit.
I thought this was a good book of music. It is a little challenging for me, but I am not very advanced. It is a little hard to get just right, but a good song book.
