I'm totally a music novice, but that is the book I picked up a few years back when I started messing around with a guitar.  I've heard that the chords aren't correct in these books, but most of the stuff sounded right to me.  It was published around the time of LOVE YOU, so many of the songs from that album are included.  Figuring out those songs enabled me to appreciate that album a lot more (which, as many have indicated in these parts, can be a challenge!).  Also a handful of 15 Big Ones songs (including the covers, strangely), a few Pet Sounds numbers, several of the pre-66 hits, and "The Little Girl I Once Knew!"

Definitely NOT complete.

Thanks so much :), so do you recommend it for that price then? I didnt expect it to be complete but I just wasnt sure what was in it.

There's a pretty good one out in the "authentic tab" series, and another one that Wolf Marshall did.  That's probably about as accurate as you'll get.
