The Warren Zevon Guitar Songbook: Enjoy Every Sandwich Paperback – October 1, 2005

The Kindle version is a collection of low quality images taken from the original book. If you try to zoom in, the low quality of the scan is obvious, and as always with Kindle books, you can't advance to the next page until you close the zoomed image. The table of contents consists of one item, "Start of book". Overall, just not a very usable book. I added a star because I was able to return the book and hey, it's still Warren Zevon's music.

I really love Warren Zevon, and I was excited to find this songbook. It's got a nice selection of songs that spans the entirety of his career, and the songs are generally well tabbed. My only complaint is that a lot of his songs are piano-driven, so they've tabbed the guitar part to mimic the piano. It might have been better to focus on songs that featured more guitar. Either way, it's really great to have a songbook with chords and lyrics to some of Zevon's greatest hits, many of which are a blast to play.

The songs are not hard to play and are well presented, with treble line, tablature for difficult or un-obvious parts, drum-type rhythm guitar lines, and chord diagrams. The chord changes are not as complicated or exotic as I was expecting. I wish there were more songs; there are 22, and it looks like they made a good-faith effort to have something for everyone, from deep to rockin'. Many of my favorites are here but not all. This is not The Beatles Complete, it's a normal-size guitar music book, and I'm glad to have it. Check the song listing on the book's Amazon page to be sure the song you want is in here.

The Kindle version of the book is a scan of the original version. When I open it in my Kindle Fire the type is unreadably small. Turning the Kindle to landscape doesn't change the size of the music, and in either position, you can't zoom in. I don't see an option for returning the book. So I am out $17.99 for an unreadable book.

I would have chosen a few different songs myself, but overall a book.

Enjoyed the songbook. Mastered a couple of songs in a fairly short time. If you're a Warren Zevon fan you'll really like it.

Essential songs

I have not spent a lot of time, but from the time I have spent it was spot on.

Great book. Accurate musical detail if that's your thing, or just strum or sing along to some truly great songs
