Perfect For Musicians...
Jack Johnson is my favorite acoustic folk guitarist and this book will help me to play his songs on the ukulele. Well written and set up for the style of music that I perform myself in public. Lyrics with chords. Perfect.

Book is chords only
If you're looking for sheet music, there isn't any. There are also no tabs or strumming patterns. That being said, I'm an avid Jack Johnson fan and know every song in this book. Most are simple to play, but some aren't in the original key, so don't expect all the songs to sound exactly right. Overall, it's okay, but in my opinion, it should probably be marketed to beginners. One more note: all of these songs, and more, can be found for free on sites like Ukutabs, Ukulele-Tabs, or Ultimate Guitar, but if you are like me and go off grid camping, it's nice to have the book for easy playing when no Internet connection can be found for miles and miles.

I love this book. It has great Jack Johnson songs and it is really easy to read and use, and it was a great purchase.

It's ok but...
Basically, this is a book full of chord sheets with lyrics and nothing else. There are no tabs for fingerpicking, no strum patterns for playing the chords, etc. If you listen to the songs and play along, it's useful enough to have the chords at least. Not really what I was hoping for. There are several websites that have chord sheets and lyrics for free - just saying.One more note - books like this, cookbooks, etc. really ought to be spiral bound or something where they stay open to the page you need. You have to pretty much open it to the song you want to play then pin it down or step on the spine to get it to not flop closed immediately. Not a player friendly format at all.

Good Strummin!
If your a fan of Jack Johnson, this is the book you'll want. This is a collection of 41 of his songs, The pages are easy to read and play to. The print is larger in size and the chords are easy to read. One should take note that this book does not have strum patterns listed. If you enjoy any of the songs listed in the book you will have to research You Tube, your favorite ukulele site, or other locations to obtain them.If this book had some strum patterns listed I would have given it five stars.The book itself is bound well, has an above average glossy cover, and should hold up for years of playing.
