Five different books, same cover, same songs, but different difficulty levels
Format: Paperback
Hal Leonard publishes five different versions of this book. They're all called "Best Songs Ever", they all have an (almost) identical front cover page, and they all have an (almost) identical song list of over 70 songs, but they vary in difficulty from easiest ("E-Z Play Today") up to much more difficult ("Piano/Vocal/Guitar"). At the top center of the front cover page, there are two or three little words which tell you which version you have, as follows, starting with the easiest version, in order of difficulty: (a) Best Songs Ever - E-Z Play Today (b) Best Songs Ever - Easy Guitar (c) Best Songs Ever - Big-Note Piano (d) Best Songs Ever - Easy Piano (e) Best Songs Ever - Piano/Vocal/Guitar Amazon has not made this very clear, and has aggregated together the reviews from several versions, so you can be looking at (e.g.) the web page for the "Easy Piano" version but be reading a review of (e.g.) the "Big-Note Piano" version. Worse still (as of Nov 2013) the "Look Inside" preview pages shown for both "E-Z Play" and "Big Note" are actually pages from the "Easy Piano" version. Accurate sample pages are available elsewhere, e.g. at sheetmusicplus.com, which also has the list of songs for each version. Here is a rough comparison of the different versions: (a) Best Songs Ever - E-Z Play Today: ============================= Beginning level. Treble clef only, with single-note melody and lyrics (plus chord names for left hand). Very large print. Five treble clefs per page. Most songs fit on two facing pages (just a few are longer and require page-turns). Each note has the note's letter name printed in the circle of the note head. No key signatures, most songs are in the key of C, with a few in easy keys like F or G (with sharps or flats written by the notes whenever needed). Hardly ever uses ledger lines (except middle C). I wish it had suggestions for fingering. (b) Best Songs Ever - Easy Guitar: ========================== Treble clef only, with single-note melody and lyrics (plus chord names for guitar or for piano left hand, and fret-board diagrams for guitar chords). Normal size print, up to 7 treble clefs per page. Nearly all songs fit on a single page or two facing pages. Key signatures are mostly C, F, G, D, and A. No suggestions for piano fingering. Although this book is intended for guitar, it's useful as a compact fake book (lead sheet) for chord-style piano. (c) Best Songs Ever - Big-Note Piano: ============================ Early intermediate level. Bass clef and treble clef. Typically at most two notes for left hand plus one note for right hand (per beat), or similar complexity (plus chord symbols and lyrics). Four grand staffs per page. Some songs fit on two facing pages, but most require a page turn. Key signatures nearly all C, F or G. Includes suggestions for fingering. (d) Best Songs Ever - Easy Piano: ========================= Later intermediate level. Same comments as for "Big-Note Piano" (see above), except each song is a bit more difficult in some way. Maybe two notes at the same time in both left hand and right hand, or maybe a broken chord bass line is added, or maybe the song is moved into a key like B-flat (two flats) or D (two sharps). (e) Best Songs Ever - Piano/Vocal/Guitar: =============================== Advanced level. Grand staff, plus a separate treble clef for vocal melody and lyrics (plus chord names and fret-board diagram for guitar). Often three or four notes in right hand plus two in left hand, per beat, or similar complexity. Most songs exceed two pages and need page turns. Key signatures are often E-flat (three flats) or similar, but with several in F (one flat) or C or similar. ... show more

Great! But for a beginner definitely.
Format: Paperback
I purchased this book and am able to sight-read every piece in here. I've been playing the piano for 7 years and taking lessons for 3. These pieces are great if you are new on the piano, or you are looking for a book to help teach you how to work with chords. I love how this book gives you lyrics and chords. If you wanted to, you could just play the chords and sing the lead (lyrics) of the song. This book has an AMAZING selection of songs. If you want to get this book but are worried it's too easy, get THE BEST SONGS EVER – 9TH EDITION. It is a green book. It is great if you are an intermediate-advanced pianist. It is great for working on reading music too. It has most of the same songs as this book. It's just a little bit more challenging. ... show more

Try a new binding
Format: Paperback
I played the piano many years ago, I'm trying to get started again but I just don't have the facility I used to have. This book is just what I need, old familiar songs in a large-print, easy to play format. One major problem, the book is so large and thick that it won't stay open. I tried some large binder clips and they held it open but the book also kept falling off the stand. Also difficult to turn pages when they are held with binder clips. I'm going to try something that has helped me with other overly large books - take it to the office supply store and have them put it on a plastic binder comb. In the case of this book they may need to split it into two or maybe three separate books. Give it a try, the material is worth it. ... show more

Can't Stop Playing
Format: Paperback
A Great book of so many of the truly great songs of our modern times. Looking for sweet, nostalgic, romantic, fun...this book has it, oh and even inspirational (What a Wonderful World). Arrangements are not difficult to learn, yet sound more advanced than the easy arrangements these are. AND big notes! Oh how I could hug the publisher for publishing big notes, so easy to see. ... show more

Better for a beginner to intermediate pianist
Format: Paperback
I got this book for my brother, who has been playing piano all his life (he's 29 now). The notes are big which is good if you have bad eyesight, and there is not much complexity to the left hand harmonies. I looked through it and thought it would be too easy for my brother, so I ended up returning it. However if you are a beginner to intermediate pianist with bad eyesight, it's probably a good book. ... show more

I'm a true beginner on the piano, and I'm just learning for fun. I've never taken a lesson; I went through 75% of "Adult All-in-one Course" as my introduction, and wanted some better songs to play. I tried several other "beginner" piano books and they were too difficult for me. This is the easiest book I have found, and it has a few decent songs (I figure 5 or 6 songs I like is as much as I can hope for). I even had some of the same songs in other "beginner" books, but these arrangements were much easier. Sure, a different arrangement might be better, but that doesn't do me any good if I can't play it. I hope you can read the included song titles in the attached photos. I also included a few pages of the music, so you can judge for yourself if this book is right for you. ... show more

This is a good one
Format: Paperback
It’s a really good book with lots of familiar songs. The large print is wonderful. I would say best for piano players level 3 and up. I’m mid level 3 and plenty of selection for me and those more difficult songs a good challenge. I recommend this one.
