Alfred has made every effort fo moke this book not only ottractive but mote useful and longlasting as well. Usually, large books do not lie fla or stay open on the music rack. In addition, the pages (which are glued together) tend to breck away from the spine after repeated use. In this edition, poges are sewn together in muliples of 16. This special process prevenis pages from falling out of the book while allowing it to stay open for ease in playing. We hope this unique binding will give you added pleasure and additional use.
