About Hal Leonard Fake Books
A "fake book" contains songs written in a concise format that includes only the melody and chords, letting you interpret the song's performance as you feel is appropriate. This is great for quickly learning songs by yourself or with an ensemble.
Each song in a fake book only has a single melody actually written out in notes, which is usually the vocal or lead melody. This melody will have the lyrics written beneath the notes, with each word aligned to its corresponding note. Above the notes of the melody will appear the names of the appropriate chords to play - for example, a "C minor" chord would be written as "Cmin" or Cm", rather than writing out all of the notes in those chords as they appeared in the original version of the song.
This format is very compact, which is why you will often see fakebooks containing 500 or more songs.

Incomplete
The book isn't bad for people who are proficient enough in reading music.The Chord structure is quite complex and some songs like careless whisper for instance lack the introduction solo that is played in a saxophone sound.

It is what it says!
It says it's the best fake book ever. This is not true. The newer ULTIMATE fake book with over 1200 songs is the best. However, there are only 150 or so repeats between the two books so it is really worthwhile to have both books. I do.
