Best Fake Book I've Seen
353141
Expanding on the title of this review, Scott the Piano Guy seems to have created this fake book as if it was going to be the only fake book he put together. So many of the fake books I've seen or purchased have a requisite number of good songs that I'm interested in but also have many that I would never consider playing at all--almost as if sequels are planned that you'll have to purchase if you want more of the really good stuff. But the selections in this one are excellent for my taste and current level of skill development. The convenience of having the chords graphically shown at the top of each song is a strong plus. I use the book on the organ rather than piano, so some of the inversions typically used are different, but the chord diagrams are still quite convenient. The book is good quality paper and strong. It would benefit from spiral binding, but that's nothing that a trip to the local office supply chain can't remedy for a few dollars. Best fake book I've seen for the developing musician.

This is no reflection on the content of the book; rather, the publishing of the book. It is a pretty sketchy knockoff. It was legitimately printed on the day I ordered it (it has the day printed in the book). There are no page numbers. I'm not confident I'm actually reading the real book. The pages are laid out very strangely, and sometimes there are line breaks in the text for no reason.

Surely a great math book, but they realy need to change the plastic harcover, its looks like a fake copy!

The plastic, fake paper sides don't look real at all (see picture). The book cover does look real (see picture).

I suppose/ hope that a burglar running through your home couldn't notice what this is; But with time,  anyone could notice the difference if this book were on your book shelf next to other regular books, because of the plastic fake paper sides.

Overall, I think it will do its job if placed properly on your shelf.

Funny as heck. If you think this book is real then just read the description. Its a gag book.

***Words of warning. I smell a fake reviews***

After skim reading this book, the only thing you would have learnt is how to run a "Hello world" program and that's pretty much it.

Reviews states "it's the perfect study guide", "it's made me a better programmer" and one reviewer even goes as far as stating "he loves the amazing quantity of examples and step by step instructions and would make you an expert in a few lessons" oh please stop it..

Don't be fooled by the fake reviews, there is absolutely NO WAY in the world a 25 page study guide... YES 25 pages, I repeat again... 25 pages could equip anyone with the knowledge and experise to write code.

So what's covered in the book you say?

 A very very brief discussion on the basics and fundamentals as well as history of C++

 Thorough steps in teaching you how to write a "Hello World" program, followed by an in depth breakdown on how it works. The author even teaches you to write a complicated version of the "Hello World" program.

If you're destined to become a C++ programmer in writing "Hello World" programs and nothing else then this 25 page study guide is for you.

There are tons of free resources out there such as video tutorials on Streaming sites and websites that will do a much better job than most of the books on Amazon. One thing you'll learn as a programmer is using search engines such as G... And Y and video tutorials are your friend. They dramatically reduces time in research compared to looking for answers in books.

First off, unless your kid is about 15 I wouldn't let em read this, it is graphic in violence and has some sexual content, but mostly suggestive, honestly, if you let your kid watch The Passion of the Christ or read the actual Bible itself then there is NOTHING more or less offensive than either of the other 2, in fact I think this is visually the most amazing take on the Bible I have EVER seen! I have only 2 problems with this book, and it;s not what most people have, one is when it gets to the part where the prophets are performing miracles is has a very disagreeable picture of a magician pulling a bunny out of a hat, when magic is satanic, this is very disagreeable to me so a better picture would have been of the casting out demons and healing the sick, and another actually major problem with the book is towards the end they author assumes the slaughtered lamb is literally a slaughtered lamb, which happens in one picture to be seated at the left hand of God, the slaughtered lamb in the Bible is actually  referring to Jesus Christ, which the Bible clearly states that Jesus Christ is whom is seated at the left had of God, some things the author took to literally, but anyways, aside from those complaints this TRULY is a work of art that should not go unnoticed or disregarded, it does not matter if an atheist made this or not, there is a movie called The Bible: In the Beginning that was made in the 60's by an atheist who not only directed it superbly and made the greatest and most accurate portrayal movie about the old testament I have ever seen, compared to these Hollywoodized garbage movie's that are NOT accurate. I am not sure whether or not the maker of this book is Christian or not not do I care but he has put in so much time and for people like me who LOVE visually imagining what the Bible would look like and in all honestly, revelations was the only thing nobody has ever *to my knowledge) made a movie of I've always tried to imagine the descriptions the best I could and I must confess that other than the slaughtered lamb) is almost verbatim to what I imagined myself, this is truly a remarkable book and I HIGHLY recommend it, but do what I did FIRST which is get it at the library so you can find out what exactly you're getting into first. This book is amazing, beautiful, 99.9% accurate, and completely faithful to visually giving people the opportunity to see things almost all other Christian books and movie's would probably never show, be it the good or the bad, it is not sugar coated which also is good, This book does NOT shy away from the seriousness of sin, death, the end of the world, revelations, and the like, there are some things in the Bible that are NOT included in this book which I wish were, but sice we've seen them a billiob times before, it's forgivable, also satan makes very brief appearances, one of the parts I really like that is shown to little is the temptation of Christ for 40 days and 40 nights in which satan offers him things he could not possibly give, it's a reminder that Christ, God HIMSELF was tempted in every way we are. Anyways, I will end it on this note and say check this out for  yourself, if you're easily offended then just don't get it, but if you want an uncensored and non-sugar coated look at the Bible as if you were reading it and instead of seeing the ghastly or glorious things in your mind anyways, you'll get an actual VISUAL look, which is truly amazing.

Very enjoyable fake documentry. Way better than discovery channel's or the history channel's fake documentaries  which is about all they do. So they should be a lot better. Go forth armed with that and you'll enjoy it.

Really funny read - don't waste time on the real book, this one is way better. Lots of flushing, biting, and crapping without all the drama

If it was passed to someone who has never watched the movie, I would have no doubt that the person would believe that Skull island is real.

This book is like a journal written by a discoverer -- think Charles Darwin. The pages are filled with amazing paintings of dinosaurs, animals, creatures, insects and the habitat. And every one of the illustrated are documented. The level of detail and thought behind can be seems from the documentation. There are no pencil sketches, only beautifully coloured paintings.

No where in the book was any reference made to the movie. And that I believe is what gives this book the authentic feel.

There are 6 parts to the book featuring the different sections of the island:

  * The crumbling coast and village
  * The shrinking lowlands
  * The winding swamps and waterways
  * The steaming jungle
  * The Abyssal Chasms
  * The Barren Uplands

Kong only appears right at the end of the book. 9 pages including pictures were devoted to it. Some reviewers claim that it's too little. But this is essentially a book about Skull Island, not about King Kong, who happens to live on Skull Island.

(More pictures are available on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

The book I got was not the book shown, well technically. It is the "tao the Ching" by Stephen Mitchell, but with a different cover and looks much much older than the one pictured. Also there was gummy sticky balls of gunk inside the cover that made the pages stick together. This is not what I would call "very good" condition as was mentioned when I bought it. The only reason I didn't give it 1 star was the price. However, this is an amazing book and I do recommend it to everyone.

Not the real book
 Buy the actual book. NOT this one. Avoid this fake version. You should be ashamed of yourself writing a fake book!

Just want you to know this is a treasure if it is anything like the real book.  Sorry haven't checked it yet, or don't remember doing so.  Will try to add more info later!

I like this fake book.  I've been learning some songs out of it.  I think it is easy to read.  There seems to be some mistakes in it, but once you play through the songs, you can correct the mistakes.

Pretty much a plastic book. The pages are made of plastic and at a close glance can easily be noticed as a fake book. The only book material use on the safe is the cardboard for the cover. It is some what useful ,if you have a good amount of other books to blend in with.

Amazing book.  So authentic, you will be truly amazed.  It's a *copy* of the original (not re-entered, a photo copy).  This is a GOOD thing.

Someone is toying with a little false advertising here.

The two "Customer Images" posted above by "Andrew Harrington" are fake. Those are photos of "Carla of La Zona Models". Google it. The original photos are of her holding something completely different.

I suspect the same thing of the image uploaded by "The Maestro"; it looks like the book was Photoshop'd in.

Beyond that, the book has a novice feel, with poor layout, cheap production, and outdated information (e.g. clubs it mentions no longer exist).

Given that there are fake images planted in the "Customer Images", I suspect some of these 5-star reviews may be fake as well.

UPDATE 5/22: The fake images were removed sometime after I wrote this review; most likely removed by Amazon.
