"Great collection of songs primarily from the 70's and 80's but there are a few songs outside that range, including songs like America the Beautiful, Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend, and Home (Phillip Phillips)."

"Even though as you get these books you have duplicate songs they are usually a different chord chart or arrangement that makes you a better player."
"Nice supplement to "Daily Ukulele" books, but there is some oversimplification of chords on a few songs."
"Fabulous!"
"A great selection of songs."
"I've been looking long and hard for a book filled with tunes I know (and some I don't)."

"Great pictures of a great era in Les Paul history."
