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.

Great Resource
Of the songs I've tried, the chords are correct. A little impractical for a live situation because of its size, weight, and print size. I use it for putting the chords in Band-In-A-Box and playing along. Great resource.

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
