– Customer review on 28/08/2011

I confess to being guilty of owning all of Jim's books. If I give one away, I quickly replace it. This one won't fit in your ukulele case (even if it's a baritone), but it is the "one to have". I'm not going to perform an audit to see what is in this book that is not in other books, but there appears to be a ton of new stuff. Missing are chord solo arrangements that you can find sprinkled throughout other books, and the intro/first verse to some songs (that most of us have never heard the intro to). (e.g. Mele Kalikimaka) This book does not include the more difficult type of material that is presented in Jim's master series books. At the back of the book is a nice small collection of holiday and celebration songs, and another section of children's songs. Amazon's price is the lowest that I have seen; so get one quick and consider holiday gift purchases.

I'll be taking mine to Kinko's to see if they can pop a clear plastic front and back cover in the comb binding because this book is going to see some serious use.

PS: In case you're wondering: the all-important "Princess Poo-Poo-Ly Has Plenty Pa-Pa-Ya (And She Loves to Give it Away)" is included. ;-) Also, much of the book is copyright protected material; so the price is a bargain.
