Sarah (is clearing her shelves) (sarahjf1984) | 236 comments Hi, I don't think this is an actual book. Can someone check it out and delete if necessary? Thanks for your help.

Its Amazon page says it has 144pgs.Though I consider anything less than 250 pgs a 'book-let' and not a true book,unfortunately many self-published,self-proclaimed authors get away with calling them books!

Thanks for your help C, but what I really meant was that it's just a collection of songs with they're accompanying music sheets. I wasn't sure if a collection of music sheets, with the lyrics, are considered a 'book' when it comes to the GR rules on what is and is not a book.

Thanks for your help Amanda. Now I know and won't come asking silly questions next time I come across one of these 'books'.
