Singers! All of you should line up and kiss Chuck Sher's feet! For doing these genius fake books for us. I mean, a world without them is inconceivable. MARK MURPHY --Personal correspondence
The new Standards Real Book is really incredible! So many great songs, many of which one never sees printed. And like always in the books published by Sher Music Co., they are represented accurately. MARIA SCHNEIDER --Personal correspondence
