Fiona Apple - Tidal Reviews:
would definitely buy from this seller again 
2009-09-13 - product arrived in less than a week and was in a condition that was consistent with the description on amazon. great experience.
When the Pawn...? Extraordinary Machine? Oh well, I'll settle. 
2008-09-01 - "Tidal" was the only Fiona Apple album to have a corresponding songbook published, so it's pretty much a must-have for fans that play piano. It definitely has its faults, though.
As arrangements go, these transcriptions are just "okay." It's a pet peeve of mine, but for this type of music, I would rather not have the melody (the sung part) be incorporated into the piano part.
As an intermediate pianist, "Sullen Girl" and "Never Is a Promise" were the most enjoyable to play, as well as the easiest to learn. "Shadowboxer," "Criminal," and "Pale September" feel a little awkward, but overall are decent arrangements. The end of "Criminal" doesn't include those nice improvisations that are on the recording, but that's not unusual.
"Sleep to Dream" is pretty much a mess, but I suppose it's a hard song to interpret on piano alone. The rest I have yet to try, but their level of difficulty looks to be about the same as the others.
For collectors of Fiona memorabilia, there isn't much here for you: no photos or artist info included.
Hey, if we can't get the other albums, how about a pop songbook that includes "Love Ridden," "Paper Bag," "Parting Gift," and "Not About Love"? Are you listening, editors?
not great
2008-03-28 - This book is good if you want to sort of sound like you're playing Fiona Apple songs, but not good if you want to actually play like Fiona. The arrangements aren't bad, but they're definitely simplified, which is disappointing considering that Fiona's playing isn't terribly complicated. I gave it an extra star for being probably the only commercially available source of Fiona Apple sheet music in existence.
Wow 
2006-03-18 - Most of the music in the book is extremely accurate.
The only thing that I have a problem with is the treble clef part. All of the songs have the melody written in on the treble clef, and it leaves out parts of the song that really help give it that Fiona Apple feel.
But other than that, Fiona Apple is an amazing songwriter and this book captures that well.
good to go on piano
2003-02-13 - This is the most used songbook I own, probably because Fiona Apple writes some incredible piano parts. The unique syncopations and rhythms that she wrote for Tidal are preserved and written in her piano score for the album. It's a refreshing change from other contemporary musicians who water down their music by releasing easier versions of their songs. So, while her music takes slightly longer to learn because of the wacky rhythms, it's definitely worth your time (and cash). Get it!
