Summary: DON'T BE FOOLED! THIS IS NOT THE BOOK YOU THINK IT IS!
Review: If you're thinking of finding popular songs from the 1990's in the book, you're very wrong! Yes, this book does contain sheet music of 89 songs from the Nineties, THE EIGHTEEN NINETIES! Yes, the 1890's. So if you're looking for songs from the 1990's, look somewhere else, because you won't find any here!

Summary: More Than A Century of Great Tunes - A Century Old, That Is
Review: It wasn't exactly the 'Gay Nineties' because the country was in a depression and mortality rates were still rather high. Still, there were some songwriters that saw promise, and the idea of marketing sheet music in large quantities was just starting to take hold. That said, even younger generations are bound to know many of the tunes contained within. There are also some neat surprises, as many songs you may think you know had verses attached that often changed the meaning of or solidified the better-known choruses. You'd be amazed at the amount of innuendo contained within many of the verses AND choruses. The library of every serious pianist and/or skilled singer hould have a copy. You can also find many of the pieces already recorded on my web site. Compare the ratio of an average of $6.00 per song in original sheet music form to 89 songs contained within this book. That's not 'fuzzy math'. Get it now!

Summary: unique
Review: This is a unique collection if you're looking for piano music from a bygone age. I was so happy to discover scores for some of the music my grandmother listened to. It's nice to know that publishers find this kind of retrospective worthwhile in an age when many don't look back beyond the 1990s.
