Good book for easy piano
This collection does a good job of simplifying Beatles for easy piano. Toward that end, sometimes the melodies are altered. I was hoping for a more literal rendering of the original recordings. If I could change one thing, it would be to make the left hand be a more simplified version of Paul's bass lines; sometimes to fill space, there are bass lines written that aren't at all reminiscent of the original.

Easy piano solos
This book is exactly what it says it is: easy piano arrangements of 50 of the most popular Beatles songs. It wasn't exactly what I wanted, but it's still a great book. The right hand plays the melody and the left hand plays chords of 3 notes or less (sometimes single note bass line). Would be a fun teaching tool or source of solos for adults at the early intermediate level. Not as useful for someone who wants to play chords and sing along (me). But the chord letters are included if you wanted to expand on the very simple arrangement. All the lyrics are there, so it's a valuable resource for that as well. Easy keys, too, mostly C, F, or G; only saw one with three sharps, because the song changed keys a couple of times and there's only so much you can simplify that. Anyway, not a good book for singers, but a really good book for pianists who want fun easy piano arrangements.
