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.

my Bible
Contains everything from Dixieland to standards to recent hits. Great for combo work. I loaned my original and had to buy a replacement. Combined with the Bb book one can practically put togehter a big band

Sooo much music
Sooo much music in one (heavy) place. Easy to read and make harmony, especially with a keyboard. Plastic binder not sufficient to hold all pages together - easy to pull pages and put in a 4" binder.

Hall Leonard 1200 songs Fake Book (volume 1)
I have this book since 1984. I use it - like many more fake books - almost every day. One remark: the undoubtly original chord notations could have been more "refined" to meet the actual requirements of more experienced musicians. Same remarks for the other Hall Leonard fake book (volume...
