As a general consumer of such stuff, I am most concerned with the level of 
the music. In many cases, it is either too hard for me, or too simple, and I 
won't know this without actually seeing the copy....If they can send me a 
page of the stuff in PDF format, then I will know, and be able to adequately 
decide whether to buy it or not.....
