You will notice that there are very few Irving Berlin songs in the Hal Leonard and Warner fakebooks. However, Hal Leonard has a fakebook just for Irving Berlin. Click Here to see what Hal Leonard has to offer.

Sing Out! was supposed to come out with its second volume of Rise Up Singing (RUS) in 1999. Last I heard, it was stalled in the process of getting copyright permissions. I'm beginning to doubt it will ever come out. Sing Out! refers to RUS as a "fakebook," but it doesn't fit my definition (but I do use the book all the time).
