 Has anyone purchased the Richard Stoltzman Songbook, and if so, how do you like it?  I have not found a list of contents (the book is 64 pages so must have lots of pieces), and don't know if I should spend the $27 to order it unless I hear feedback on it.

 I. Bill Douglas songs:  
Begin Sweet World, Feast, Infant Dreams, Lullaby, Morning Song, Open Sky 
 
II. Classics: 
Air--Bach, Ave Verm Corpus--Mozart, En Priere--Faure, Largo from Harpsichord Concerto--Bach, O Sacred Head Now Wounded--Bach, Pie Jesu from Requiem--Faure, Sicilian--Bach, The Swan--Saint Saens, Three American Pieces--Foss, un seul--Opperman 
 
III. Jazz 
Amazing Grace, Come Sunday--Ellington, Gershwin!!, My Funny Valentine--Rodgers, Night and Day--Porter, The Peacocks--Rowles, There's a Man Goin' Round, Three Preludes for Piano--Gershwin 
 
Most of these were arranged by Stoltzman.  He also wrote a paragraph or less about each song/piece or Composer.  The level of this book varies.  Some of it is not very difficult and some of it is difficult.
