The picture above is not the book I ordered, but I did receive the correct book, in good condition, and in good timing. Thank you very much!

Fun & useful book!
Useful information on how to practice and prepare a song for performance, plus a large variety of songs in a large and clear notation for both voice and piano. Some songs have two versions: high and low voice. It doesn't matter which edition you get (unless you're using it in a class) but be sure you get the CD that comes with the book; it has piano accompaniment for every song, which makes singing them a whole lot more fun. Well worth having! Instant karioke!
