Following the trend set by earlier titles in the series, it became known as the "little green book".
All hymns are presented in "lead sheet", ie melody line + guitar chords, format.
It is now out of print, although some hymns are in later publications from Kevin Mayhew Ltd. Pre-owned copies are sometimes available on Amazon (USA, Canada, UK / Ireland, rest of the world).
