Sooo many songs
Yeah, this book is huge indeed. Endless songs. Thankfully it has an index page of such to help find things.Written really clear and precisely too. Accurate chords and melody as far as I've tried, granted I've not tried it all.Well sturdy book that's worth being in any collection. It shows you how to form all the needed chords, most songs absolutely vary in chords and its got sheet music, with the chords written above so that melody and rhythm can both be learned.For me. I'm 100% satisfied. But that's just me. What I would say for other people though? Just be wary that the text is a little on the small side. Nothing too drastic but it could cause minor problems for some. Definitely not the book for anyone with horrible short sighted vision.Anyway. I recommended it and hope you all enjoy it too.

Great book, but Need good eyesight
A great book, but go for the A4 size version (if there is one) as this one is so small, and the text is quite feint in places, it's difficult to read...A great book though, with a good and varied selection of songs.

Lovely collection, just note the sizing of the book you order
A really nice collection. Like other reviewers I don't know why it's called the Ultimate Fake Book, but like it's big Blue cousin (the other Fake Book by Hal Leonard Publishing) this is a great collection.It measures around A5 in size (see pic) and has plenty of songs. I didn't know that when buying, as in it was not clear that there is an A4 copy and the sizing I believe was quoted in mm not in paper size. To aid, I've included a ruler for scale in my pictures.The layout however is nice and song selection covers wide genre and era range. It has lots of positives including the nice plastic comb binding. It's a good size for reference and solo playing mind, just slightly on the smaller size for fonts.I've docked a star purely because they don't make much of the size options and this to me is an odd size to go for. It's not pocket size and feels like it's just a touch too small for easy reading. For an easier view you can buy this in larger A4 format, so do remember when buying.I love it enough that I'm going to also get this in A4 and have one for reference and the other for performance. It really is that nice.

Excellent range of tunes
Best book I've come across for Ukele music, gives lyrics, chords and score. Not always easy to play, but there is plenty to try, good range across various genres of music.

content very good but very small print
content very good but the print is very small, would have paid more and had larger print. I do wear glasses so a person with perfect eyesight may not have any complaint

Lots of fun things in here
Lots of fun songs to play but most I have never heard of - I suspect they may be aimed at a different generation! But still, plenty to keep me happy and most of them very playable, aimed at beginners. Not sure why it's called a fake book.

Best Fake Book possible for me!
I don’t play the ukulele but I do play the soprano and alto recorders, and the piano. This book provides the melody as well as chords to really inspire a musical session with both instruments. The range of the recorders is a definite ‘match’ for the uke! I love this book - no more Fake Books needed!

Wide range of Songs for the GCEA Uke
Love this collection. I regard it as an essential tool in my learning of the ukulele. Thorough, accurate chord diagrams are featured at the top of the songs, including chord diagrams. I love music dating between the late 1920s and the early 1950s. Tons of this. The thorough chord inclusions ensure that every song experience will add to my chord knowledge through practice of music.
