Real Book은 재즈 관련 서적 중 단연 베스트 셀러입니다.
1970년대부터 뮤지션들이 매일밤 라이브에서 참고해 온 이 책은 불법 복제, 제본되어 퍼졌기 때문에 저작권법에 저촉되고 결과적으로 이 걸작들을 작곡한 작곡자들에게는 로열티가 전혀 돌아가지 않았다는 큰 문제가 있었습니다.
이렇게 유통되던 책을 Hal Leonard가 이제 합법적으로 출판하게 되었습니다.
오리지널과 전혀 차이가 안느껴지면서도 악명높았던 오류들은 다 수정되었습니다.
오리지널 버전과 똑같은 커버와 활자체, 그리고 거의 똑같은 송 리스트들을 담고 있으면서도 가격은 더 쌉니다!
모든 양심적인 뮤지션들은 이제 이 책을 통해 정확한 악보를 얻음과 동시에 이러한 위대한 작곡자들에게 합당한 대가를 지불할 수 있다는 점에서 만족을 느낄 것입니다.
손으로 쓴 형태의 제목과 오선악보, 코드기호 등이 수록되어 있으며 타브악보로는 표기되어 있지 않습니다.

리얼북의 재즈 솔로 버전인 이 악보집에는 역사적으로 잘 알려진 150곡의 재즈곡 솔로파트가 악기에 상관없이 연주할 수 있는 악보로 수록되어 있습니다.
