I have had the "Beatles Complete" songbook for 10 or so years and was happy with it, but I have thrown it out now !
The two things I like most about this book are they appear to be in the correct key... and the passing chords are fantastic !
Songs like
"Cry Baby Cry" Em Em(maj7) Em7 Em6 C7 G
"Benifit Of Mr Kite" Dm Dm(maj7) Dm7 Dm6 A A
"Norwegian Wood" D Cadd9 G/B D
"Here Comes The Sun" Bmadd11 Asus4 G6 Asus4 A7 D AI could go on and on the songs are endless.
Happy ?
You BET !!

There are two major problems. First, it should have a spiral cover so that it can actually be used by someone playing their guitar with both hands. It doesn't stay open, making it somewhere between useless and a royal pain.
Second, they don't give the chords in the original key, so you cannot play along with the album if you wish. Example: And Your Bird Can Sing is written in D instead of E, as on the CD.
On the other hand, it contains all the lyrics and chords to all their music, so, all things considered, I'm happy I got it.

OUTSTANDING! Great value. Simple format but it works. Learn everything from early Beatles songs like "She Loves You" to "Let It Be". What's better than playing Beatles tunes? This book really makes it easy & enjoyable. It was worth the cost of the book to learn how to play "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"!

Very thorough book covering a plethora of Beatles Songs some easy, some not so easy. The book itself needs to be bound to open and lay flat once you get it as it will not stay open on its own, easy enough done at a print place and worth it.
