The Real Books are the best-selling jazz books of all time. Since the 1970s, musicians have trusted these volumes to get them through every gig, night after night. The problem is that the books were illegally produced and distributed, without any regard to copyright law, or royalties paid to the composers who created these musical masterpieces. Hal Leonard is very proud to present the first legitimate and legal editions of these books ever produced. You won't even notice the difference, other than that all of the notorious errors have been fixed: the covers and typeface look the same, the song list is nearly identical, and the price for our edition is even cheaper than the original! Every conscientious musician will appreciate that these books are now produced accurately and ethically, benefitting the songwriters that we owe for some of the greatest tunes of all time! Includes 400 songs: All Blues - Au Privave - Autumn Leaves - Black Orpheus - Bluesette - Body and Soul - Bright Size Life - Con Alma - Dolphin Dance - Don't Get Around Much Anymore - Easy Living - Epistrophy - Falling in Love with Love - Footprints - Four on Six - Giant Steps - Have You Met Miss Jones? - How High the Moon - I'll Remember April - Impressions - Lullaby of Birdland - Misty - My Funny Valentine - Oleo - Red Clay - Satin Doll - Sidewinder - Stella by Starlight - Take Five - There Is No Greater Love - Wave - and hundreds more!

Not worth $29 Jun 28, 2009
By R. Rawlings The illegal books that this series replaced were popular throughout the 70's 80''s and 90's. They were printed on cheap paper with cheap cover and binding.
When Hal Leonard came out with the legal version they maintained the cheap paper and binding and gave it an affordable price of around $20 . Many folks bought it to replace there old illegal books even though there were about 50 songs that the legal book doesn't have.
$30 is just to much for such a cheap package.
Under $20 is a fair price.
