A book of melody lines with a few chords thrown in so that an experience
player can take this book and play the music. For example a pianist could
take the chords printed but play them say in "boogie woogie" style and it
would sound like written out music.

The fake book does not have the full instrumentation, harmonization, etc
written out.
