Summary: What's Up with the Binding
Review: I love the collection of songs in this book and it is an improvement from Volume 2 since most songs in Volume 2 do not show the chords by name, whereas most songs in this volume do.

My biggest dislike of this collection is the book's binding. Unlike Volume 2 which has the kind of binding where the back folds out from the book so it lays flat on a piano's music holder, this book is so tightly bound that the only way I have found to keep it open is to use paper clips or clothes pins to keep the book from closing on it's own while playing. This makes turning pages very difficult.

If this book had been given the same binding as used on volume 2 I would have rated it top-notch, but because of the problems I have had with trying to keep the book open while playing I have to rate it a bad value for serious musicians.

At best, you will want to photocopy your favorite songs and put them is a looseleaf binder if you actually want to use this book while playing a keyboard.
