I waited a long time to buy the original companion mainly because I didn't have a credit/debit card and local bookstores don't carry it. The online merchandise store the band uses is also a little overpriced.
When it arrived in the mail, I immediately looked through it and was pleasantly surprised. There's not a bunch of pictures, if you are a picture buff, but the text is an enjoyable read and the sheet music is pretty accurate and simple enough to play if you can read music... and play piano.
For any fan that knows how Amanda Palmer works and is interested in not only the back story of the band but the back story of Amanda, this is the book for you.

This book is alright but I bought it thinking it was all of their songs and was disappointed to find out it's only early stuff. It makes a big deal about including photos, art, writing etc, but considering there are only 11 songs of sheet music, it would be a pretty thin book without all the other stuff. It's a great book, I am just more of a fan of Yes Virginia than the self titled, so now am searching again for sheet music for my favourite songs, Delilah, Mandy Goes to Med School, My Alcholic Friends etc, when I thought I had paid $45 (NZ) for them already. poos. PS If anyone knows where to get hold of Cat Power sheet music can you let me know? Thanks.

Guitar chords and full sheet music for every song (except 672) on the original debut album, plus a section with photos and information on the band. I'd recommend this even if you don't play piano or guitar.

As a fan of the music, as well as a musician, I find a great amount of appreciation for the Companion. It really is the only book of its kind, you aren't going to get a songbook with both the histories of the band, each individual song, and perfomance tips written in on the musical scores.
If you're interested in playing songs by the Dresden Dolls, this will be an invaluable resource, but even if you just appreciate their music, this is a window into the heart and soul of an excellent band. The only problem I have is with the book itself, I wish it were capable of resting open on a music stand without closing or flopping over.

This book was really helpful when trying to play the songs i've heard for so long. It's actually very cool to see Amanda scribble out a lyric and write in one she prefers instead. Keep in mind though, that this book does come with a parental advisory sticker, but it's really nothing to be concerned about. If you're old enough to listen to their music, you're mature enough to hand the content inside.
