A British website has compiled a searchable index of over 70 different fakebooks, including all of Frank Mantooths books, Hal Leonards books, the new real books and the original real books. It also includes some fakebooks I’d never heard of – anybody heard of “Satanic Changes?”
This could be useful if you’re looking to buy a new fakebook online and what to know if you’re favorite songs are included. It doesn’t tell you what page the song is on, which might be even more useful.
I notice it doesn’t include the book Proship tries to hawk on its website, which is not a surprise.
