Post Fake books for casual gigs?
Hi folks, aside from the "Real book" do any of you have some great suggestions for fake books/collections etc.. that could be helpful for your casual "coffee house" gigs?

Please let me know, thanks.

Pete.

I don't buy many books much more after Dave Brosky posted this site:

Depending on the song, some have multiple scores for different instruments, or combinations like guitar+bass, piano+guitar, vocals, etc.

Thanks Greg, I think you folks are right! After previewing many books their are way too many tunes I would NEVER play on a gig in those compilations.
