You can find brief descriptions of virtually all the fake books on the US market at
http://psrtutorial.com . There is also a link to the Table of Contents for each book as well as links to Barnes & Noble where you can check out current prices. The Sher books have a unique font more akin to handwritten notation and very different from the pages used in the Hal Leonard series. Some users really like this; others really dislike it. You will also find an online song index to all the songs in all the books so if you have a particular song in mind, you can easily see in which books it appears. All of that online song index can be download in a single MS Word document if you'd prefer to have a personal copy of the index. I own most of these books so I find the index quite useful. Here's a direct link to the Fake Book Section:
