    For better detail see my review for the other book Billy Joel: Hits - 1981-1993. Like I stated there these books (in my opinion) are for new Billy Joel fans. If you already own some of his books you already have these songs. You also have better versions of these...

    songs. If you like arrangements try "Billy Joel: Billy Joel Complete". If you like accompaniment try "Billy Joel: The Billy Joel Keyboard Book". Hands down those are my two favorites.

    This is by far one of the best piano books I own. It is exactly what Billy plays. This is what you want if you want someone to sing along. There is a CD that comes inside the book with different tempos so you can start slow. The piano man...

    solo is here, Just the Way you are sounds terrific, and New York State of Mind is the best song you can play on piano. If you are a Billy Joel fan, get it!
