I just love this songbook. I'm not sure what the gripe is about with some of the reviewers, giving the product a poor review because they didn't read the description or didn't know some of the songs. In any case as stated it is a SONGBOOK, which is a book of sheet music. So if you are looking for a book with a band bio and touring pictures, KEEP LOOKING as you will not find it here.The songbook is structured for piano, vocals and guitar. I found the book easy to read and understand. Within minutes I was playing "Let's Groove", which made me all giddy!Songlist:1. After the Love Has Gone2. Boogie Wonderland3. Can't Hide Love4.

System of Survival17. That's the Way of the World18. Thinking of YouSo it isn't all of their entire song catalog, but that's why it's called "The Best of Earth, Wind and Fire". If you are a big EWF fan who wants to learn how to play some of their greatest hits, I highly recommend this songbook.
As an intermediate-level piano player, I was pleased with many of the arrangements in this collection. I particularly enjoy playing "After the Love is Gone," "Boogie Wonderland," "Fantasy," "Reasons," & "September." They sound amazingly true to album/CD versions, even with ME playing them! Some of the songs didn't translate as well and a few others I didn't really know. But overall, I was pretty happy with this book.
I have this book of incredible music permanently on my piano. I play the music within as often as I can because there is nothing better than an EWF tune to brighten one's day.
I am very pleased with my purchase of E.W.F easy to read notes with all the lyrics.Im a big fan of E.W.F and as a bassist this book helps me a lot in many ways
the people who reviewed this book are moorons this book is for sheet music what did they want life story who cares its for musicians
I got this book in preparation for an upcoming concert. The chords and sheet music are clear and concise and I would definitely order again.
For anyone who knows and loves the material you will find these charts helpful. They are quite correct however some are pre-production arrangements versus post-production transcriptions.
Like many books of sheet music, many subtle details are not presented. It is a good start at the music, but you will have to fill in some details
