It's pretty typical of the ilk. From memory it has the bass and treble 
staffs for most songs, with guitar chords noted above and where the 
music especially needs it it shows the guitar tab notation below the 
treble staff or at the start of the page, if it's a riff used throughout.
it's a pretty arty book ...  a lot of effort went into it.  theres some 
of the lyrics scrawled in handwriting in some songs for emphasis.  it's 
quite a piece of work.

Out of interest, does it only include the guitar parts or does it 
notate the piano/keyboard parts too?

Now that I know it existed, I'll have to start haunting places that 
sell secondhand music, methinks.

    Gosh, I'll have to take better care of mine ... I tried to google
    it and
    tried amazon and the sheet music sellers and they only have breathe.

    It covers albums from MO to RSITS, with about 4-6 songs from each.
    Hundreds of staff-taken photos, a rant or two and fairly elaborate
    tabs
    for all given songs.  No "easy guitar" version thing.  It was the
    first
    music book I bought about 20 years ago and the sales guy gave me a
    cheesy parting look and said "good luck".  He was right - most of
    it was
    well beyond me at the time, and a lot of it still is.
    A treat.
    I'll scan the cover and note the IBN, sometime later on.  Remind
    me if I
    forget.
