I just bought the new real book C version from Sher, tried to use index nrealbk1 or nrealbk1d, both index incorrectly, nrealbk1 is better, but "All of me" and "All the things you are" are missing, then there is an offset which gets resolved after "boogie down", the rest of the songs is correct. nrealbk1d shows me photos suddenly in the middle of the sheet music. Any help would be appreciated.

Post a photo of the first page of the Alphabetical Index of the PDF you purchased from Sher.

This table of contents is not from "The New Real Book(Digital Edition)" which is sold by Sher Publishing. This table of contents is from the PDF floating around the internet with missing pages.

If you link this PDF to "The New Real Book(Digital Edition)" index, it won't work because the index isn't for the PDF you have.

If you link this PDF to "The New Real Book Vol 1", it won't work, because the PDF you have is missing pages. If you add the missing pages it will work.

The table of contents you posted isn't from the PDF that you purchased from Sher Publishing.

The index page you posted is not from the "The New Real Book (Digital Edition)", it's from "The New Real Book" the paper book that has a different index. Additionally, you mentioned "All The Things You Are" and "All Of Me" are missing from your PDF, which indicates the PDF you pulled this index from is the same PDF floating around the internet.

Don't believe me? Show that index page to the folks at Sher Publishing and also let them know that two songs are missing.

You misunderstood me: All of me and All the things are there in the pdf, see below, but when I click in igigbook on "all of me", I get "always there", and when I click on "All the things", I get the second page of "Always there", this is when using nrealbkd.

Does your PDF have the song "These Foolish Things" on page 356?

Does your PDF have the song "Stormy Weather" on page 437?
