Not being a really competent pianist, I bought this more as an experiment in using my Kindle for sheet music and I must say I am a little disappointed, although I cannot criticize Dan Coates' arrangements. I suppose it is expecting too much to get a whole 'A4' size page of sheet music on a 7 inch Kindle and be able to read it on a piano music stand in real time.
I do have a Kindle app on my desktop PC and this displays the music in real size, but, of course I cannot put my Desktop Monitor on the piano music stand. I have not found a way of printing off the music into hard copy, either! This is probably prohibited by the Kindle small print somewhere anyway, but it has taught me a lesson not to expect too much from sheet music on a Kindle. I would be open to any advice to get around the problem, because the idea of getting a repertoire of sheet music together on a Kindle that was readable does have merit!

One of the best I've seen

This book almost single-handedly got me back into piano playing after a 20-year hiatus. I've never been happy with the arrangements in most popular sheet music, especially "PVG" and "Easy Piano" sheets -- they are too simple and have almost no left hand accompaniment to speak of. Generally, there are no chords or arpeggios -- just single note "plink, plink, plink" etc. while the right hand has to carry the whole song.
On the other hand, many of the arrangements in this book (and in Dan Coates "Advanced" and "Professional Touch" books in general) have *wonderful* left-hand accompaniments and dramatic chording and other nice touches for the right-hand. Difficulty ranges from intermediate ("The Rose", "Open Arms") to advanced ("I Will Always Love You").
Sure, if you're talented enough to arrange for yourself you might find fault, but for those of us who just read and play and like to play popular music, this is an exceptional book.

Wow! This book is GREAT!

For some time now I have been looking for a book that would challenge me and make me practice! Most of my books I have played for years and as a result I don't have to work to play any of my music. So, I started looking for some advanced books and came across this book by Dan Coates. I've had it just over a month and love it! I've love all the "extras" that have been added! I'm back on Amazon looking for more books by Dan Coates! If you are looking for a book to challange you, and a book that you will enjoy while learning each song, then you need to buy this book!!! You won't be disappointed!

Great songs, challenging arrangements...

This arrangement of songs by Dan Coates is definately challenging. I actually have to practice to get through these. Not for the beginning piano player. This book is for moderate to advanced talent levels. Great songs like Desperado, Angel Eyes, The Rose, Open Arms and more. My only complaint is that delivery time was VERY slow. Took nearly a month to receive.
