The World's Best Piano Arrangements [Paperback]

This is one of the best piano books I've ever bought. Easily worth three times the price. I'm particularly enjoying the Eddie Heywood transcriptions, but the Fats Waller, George Shearing, Dave Brubeck and others are great too. Definitely for the intermediate to advanced pianist.
