I confess to being guilty of owning all of Jim's books. If I give one away, I quickly replace it. This one won't fit in your ukulele case (even if it's a baritone), but it is the "one to have". I'm not going to perform an audit to see what is in this book that is not in other books, but there appears to be a ton of new stuff. Missing are chord solo arrangements that you can find sprinkled throughout other books, and the intro/first verse to some songs (that most of us have never heard the intro to). (e.g. Mele Kalikimaka) This book does not include the more difficult type of material that is presented in Jim's master series books. At the back of the book is a nice small collection of holiday and celebration songs, and another section of children's songs. Amazon's price is the lowest that I have seen; so get one quick and consider holiday gift purchases.
I'll be taking mine to Kinko's to see if they can pop a clear plastic front and back cover in the comb binding because this book is going to see some serious use.
PS: In case you're wondering: the all-important "Princess Poo-Poo-Ly Has Plenty Pa-Pa-Ya (And She Loves to Give it Away)" is included. ;-) Also, much of the book is copyright protected material; so the price is a bargain.

I just purchased a Kindle version of The Daily Ukulele as a Christmas gift for my sister. MISTAKE! I'm a fan of the Beloffs and have several of their books, so this absolutely isn't a criticism of them or the contents of the book. The reviews posted on Amazon and the recommendations of fellow ukulele-players persuaded me to get this book for my sis. And the "idea" of being able to tote your uke music on a Kindle was appealing. But my sister, who accepted the gift, has told me that the book is essentially unreadable on the Kindle. As this is a book of sheet music, changing the text size apparently does not work, and anyway, at the least, you really want to be able to see the whole page. According to my sister, apparently the current version displays only two lines of a song at a time. I wish, I wish, I WISH SOMEONE had had the sense NOT to make this available on Kindle -- nice idea in principle maybe, but completely impractical in the execution. I would have bought the paper edition. It would be nice if Amazon would credit back what I paid for this useless version and apply it to buying a paper edition. Why are situations like this always excused by "BUYER BEWARE"? Why is it always the buyer's fault? Thanks for the forum for sounding off.
Addendum: I still don't advise buying the Kindle version, but Amazon has kindly allowed an inhouse credit so that i could buy the paper version to send to ole Sis. Thank you, Amazon.
