Good transcriptions
I just got this book and I haven't learned the songs in it but I can tell you that it has good transcriptions of many blues songs - a few of them being Tipitina, Honkey Tonk Train Blues, Big Chief and Blueberry Hill. The Blueberry Hill transcription is in B flat and contains the chorus (which is hard to find other places). Hope this helps.
