Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here Reviews:
Great book -- good tabs 
2008-03-16 - "Wish You Were Here" is one of PF's great albums musically, despite the fact that the band was going through a tough time due to the success, money and fame that Dark Side of the Moon had brought them. All this is discussed in the interview with Roger Waters that opens the book. There are also some great pictures. Despite these tensions within the band, a great album emerged with PF's distinctive sound.
This guitar tab book includes all the music and guitar parts (multiple parts in places), and is very well done. What you hear on the album is all here. I'm very satisfied with the book and am enjoying learning those parts of the songs that I didn't figure out just by listening to the album. Of the various guitar tab books I've seen, I'd say this is in the top 20% in terms of quality. Also, the pictures and interviews make this a great product for real PF fans. Both solos and rhythm/backing guitar are tab'd here. I hope the other PF tab books are as good as this one!
Excellent!!
2007-12-10 - Another wonderful album by Pink Floyd. Excellent, not a lot of lyrics mostly great music.
Must have for PF fans!
Its Floyd! Of course its gonna be good. 
2006-10-01 - That being said, I do agree with the reviewer who complained about the songs not being in order. But the Roger and David interview and all the awesome pictures in it, make it all worth it.
Wish You Were Here is my favorite album and its awesome to be playing my favorite songs. Buy this if your a guitar player(and a Floydian) and you won't be dissapointed.
Good content, sub-par construction 
2004-09-08 - The tablature is decent, although there are some mistakes as with all tab books.
My main complaint is that the book itself is falling apart (it is brand new and unabused). Pages are falling out which makes playing & reading/flipping pages simultaneously very difficult.
There is a good interview with Roger Waters at the beginning, as well as period photographs, which are always a nice addition.
The songs are not printed in the order they appear on the album, but since the pages are falling out, I suppose you can rearrange them any way you wish.
Overall, this is a very good note-for-note transcription of one of Gilmour's greatest achievments.
Good Book
2003-03-03 - I reaaly thought this book was helpful to see the masters art better
