Tori Amos: Anthology Reviews:
great buy great book 
2007-01-06 - I have this book, not only are there plenty of songs in the book, but they are a bit more difficult. You are not getting the way too easy boring version. I highly recommend this book.
Thus far the best published sheet music collection
2006-11-16 - I have several books of Tori Amos music, but I bought this for some of the harder to find pieces. Overall, this is my favorite book and the one I play out of the most. I have played piano for a few years but am not very skilled - however I can work my way through most of the music. Some of the songs require more work (Caught a Lite Sneeze, Space Dog) and some like Mother, Putting the Damage On and Winter are pretty easy. I play several instruments and have been able to adapt the music easily to guitar and flute. The only thing I haven't really liked is that since Tori Amos supposedly never writes down music, this doesn't translate to printed versions of audio recording. However, I have seen her live many times and every time each song changes, so a written version of any song is given to improvisation.
To Start... 
2004-08-27 - I have been teaching myself piano for about 8 or 9 months, so am relatively inexperienced; thus, i expected i wouldn't be able to play anything in this book, and had ordered it for future use. I was wrong, however, and am actually able to play bits and pieces of several songs. 'Winter' is pretty simple, though, for me, the accompaniment took a bit getting used to. 'Professional Widow' is also fairly easy. Point being, even beginners can use this book. The transcriptions, as said, have been dumbed-down for many songs, but a talented enough pianist can improvise, anyhow. I recommend this book to get started on, it's really wonderful!
fun to play but something's missing... 
2003-11-19 - I love to play piano and I was thrilled to get Tori's book of sheet music. However I was disappointed to see that a lot of the piano music had been modified from her original work. Many arrangements of popular music tend to incorporate the vocals and other instruments into the piano piece (in order to hear the melody or another aspect of the song) and this is the case with these arrangements too. Although sometimes I agree that doing this may make the piece sound better when played alone (without vocals or other instruments) I wish they would have note-for-note what is actually in the original version of Tori's songs.
Great
2002-09-27 - I am not a musican, but I am a Tori fan. I just love to collect. I highly recommend this book.
