It's a pretty bold title, using the words "Best" and "Ever". It probably should be called 'Some Really Good Acoustic Guitar Songs But There May Be Some You Like That We Left Out That Will Be Included in Another Volume That You Will Have To Purchase Separately'. That being said, there are some really good songs in here. I do like most of the songs included with this book, but some don't seem to feature the acoustic guitar as prominently as others. In my opinion (as a beginner guitar enthusiast), I would say that about three quarters of the songs are really great for acoustic guitar. If you aren't familiar with a particular song, you can check it out on YouTube to hear how it is supposed to sound.
This is a quality soft cover book. The sheet music is easy to read and includes TAB. It has a guitar notation legend in the back that explains the meaning of symbols/music notations. Also, there is a pretty good range with respect to level of difficulty. Some of the songs you can pick up quickly and some will take a little more time to master.
