Bob a "Google" search for "Jazz Fake Book" lists over 65 pages of hits. Most are for :
The Jazz Fake Book,
The Real Jazz Fake Book,
The Ultimate Jazz Fake Book.
I saw no references to a "75 Jazz Fake Book"
Dave S...Has a Fake Book tucked away he will not part with (I tried to borrow or buy it)--maybe he knows about this title.
Cheers,
Bob A

Hiya, Bob
Greetings from down down here in (and with the latest scoop from), Sacramento, CA :]
I think I've seen the volumn(s?) you're referring to but couldn't find it today. At least I tried :|
At one of the larger local music stores this afternoon I saw (among the praise and worship songbooks:) Hal Leonard's "Jazz Standards Fake Book". It's a large volume, I guess about 9 1/2" X 12" more of less, about 2" thick. The songs are large print. I didn't count how many tunes there are but I'd guess much more than seventy-five. The books are individually keyed for "C", "Eb" etc. The price here is $29.95 per volumn.
If I were interested in that, I'd buy the "C" edition and play from it - but, I'm so used to transposing it's second nature to me.
All the clerks were so busy I didn't feel like interrupting someone with my question about 75 Fake Book at the moment. Maybe I'll get back over there early this coming week when we're not in the Saturday afternoon crunch.
Another source might be your local library. Our neighborhood one has a couple volumns of Reader's Digest "Parade of Popular Hits". Lots of standards in it.

Take care, Bob. Don't overblow too much))
Best regards,
Ron B
