Like its sister volume The British Collection, this features each song on a double page with piano accompaniments and all the songs written in singable keys. Plus there are guitar accompaniments clearly presented sometimes with alternative chords for capo use. Unfortunately in my copy there was no key to recordings at the end of the index. I enjoyed having old and new songs together in one volume. I thoroughly recommend this book, along with The British Collection, especially if you are looking for a first time buy of current songs or you want to condense all those other volumes that are getting over-thumbed and have lost the front cover!
