Summary: Simply Wonderful!
Review: I personally love this book. The songs are a bit simplier than the album version, but these versions are so great. My favorite to play on the piano is Mary. I really recommend this book to anyone who loves Fumbling Towards Ectasy.

Summary: i was disappointed
Review: I recently bought this book and I think it is great. This song book allows you to play Sarah's song on the piano or guitar. It even has lyrics of the songs. This book contains the following song in order from the book: (Touch)
1.Ben's Song
2.Vox
(Solace)
3.Drawn to the Rhythm
4.The path of thorns
5.I will not forgot you
6. Lost
(Fumbling Towars Ecstasy)
7.Possesion
8.Wait
9.Good enough
10.Circle
11.Elsewhere
12.Mary
13.Hold on
14.Ice
15.Ice cream
16.Fear
17.Plenty
18. Fumbling Towards Ecstasy
There are individual pages for Lyrics, Piano, and Guitar. It has a photo Section from her concerts (6 pages). The song book has great artwork design done by Sarah herself. It has a brief biography how she got started. It explains how Sarah writes some of her songs. This book is a must for all Sarah Mclachlan Fans. When played on piano or guitar the song won't sound excactly like the song or tune but it would have a melody of the song. Once you learn the songs, you can manipulate it by adding more keys to press or even lesser. This is an outstanding song book. Look for other of Sarah Mclachlan songs books. I bet there worth the money as well.

Summary: A feast for the eyes as well as the ears.......
Review: In the "Sarah McLachlan Collection" songbook (vocal/piano/guitar), there are illustrations drawn by Sarah, hand-penned lyrics and a centrefold of concert photos that makes this a feast for the eyes as well as the ears. "Collection" covers Sarah's first three studio albums: Touch ("Vox," "Ben's Song,"), Solace ("Drawn To The Rhythm," "I Will Not Forget You," "Lost,") and Fumbling Towards Ecstasy (the title of which was taken from Wilfred Owen's poem "Dulce et Decorum est" that features the line "An ecstasy of fumbling") ("Possession," "Path of Thorns," "Wait," "Plenty," "Good Enough," "Fear," "Circle," "Ice," "Ice Cream," "Hold On," and "Fumbling Towards Ecstasy").
The arrangements are greatly simplified, especially "Possession." It should be noted that this is *NOT* the piano version of "Possession" that was a hidden track on "Fumbling Towards Ecstasy" (and also featured on the "Due South" soundtrack). This transcription is from the album version, and it is very, very basic. You will want to add your own embellishments to make it workable.
However, most of the songs closely resemble their album counterparts and are a joy to play. I love the shimmery buoyancy of "Vox," the Loreena McKennitt-like musings of "Drawn To the Rhythm," and the high-strung melancholy of "Fumbling Towards Ecstasy." This is a wonderful addition to any fan's Sarah McLachlan collection.
(Note: there is a section devoted to guitar tabs for all of you guitarists out there)

Summary: The Sarah McLachlan Collection
Review: Includes: (from Touch) Ben's Song* Vox (from Solace) Drawn to the Rhythm* I Will Not Forget You* Path of Thorns* Lost (from Fumbling) Possession* Wait* Plenty* Good Enough* Mary* Elsewhere* Circle* Ice* Hold On* Ice Cream* Fear* Fumbling Towards Ecstasy*
This is one amazing songbook! I have never been more impressed with a transcription of Sarah's music. There are so many songs here that I absolutely love, and I can just sit down and play them. The arrangements are great--not too hard, but not one-note, occasional chord, melodies either.
The Sarah McLachlan Collection also includes six pages devoted to full-color pictures of Sarah, which are beautiful. It also has lyric pages before each song, with captivating illustrations/photos in the background.
All over, this is so perfect. The arrangements are completely in line, the design is awesome, and there is even a guitar tab in the back, which I (embarrassedly) admit to not having checked out yet. I'm sure it's awesome, though, just like everything else in this completely wonderful songbook.
