Thanks for posting.Great find yes but CAN THIS BE LEGAL?Those fake books are still for sale while this site is giving them away.I'm very skeptical of sites like this. Illegal DLs can lead to tons of computer problems via hidden trojans, malware, spyware and the like. YMMVMario,The site is legal. It's the same non profit that provides the internet 'Wayback machine'.
The print function has been disabled in the pdf files so a user can not download the pdf and print out a copy.Good question and good practice to ask the question. It's a lot better to be wary than to get malware or trojans. Since you brought it up a related item - indices of songs to most fakebooks1) a master index of Real Book 1, 2, The New Real Book (Sher Music) 1,2,3, and the Standards Real Bookis a PDF link at top of that page), and2) Then three is the on-line searchable index of ALL (except the OP listed one)so if you need the basics of almost any tune, mainly standards and jazz, you can probably find which book to look in. Just remember FB's have mistakes and sometimes there are much better chords, chord substitutions and extensions ('color') than given in the FB.LarryEdited by Larry Kehl ( 02/07/18 10:02 AM).

A fake book is a collection of musical lead sheets intended to help a performer quickly learn new songs. Each song in a fake book contains the melody line, basic chords, and lyrics - the minimal information needed by a musician to make an impromptu arrangement of a song, or 'fake it.' The fake book is a central part of the culture of playing music in public, particularly in jazz, where improvisation is particularly valued.Fake books are not intended for novices: the reader must follow and interpret the scant notation, and generally needs to have thorough familiarity with chords and sheet music.
