The Real Book can refer to any of a number of popular compilations of lead sheets for jazz tunes, but is generally used to refer to Volume 1 of an underground series of books transcribed and collated by students at Berklee College of Music during the 1970s.  It got its name to distinguish it from the widely available fake books which printed only chords and lyrics of standard songs, to avoid copyright issues.  The "Real Book" included melody lines, thus infringing music copyright, and the older versions were pirated — that is unlicensed — publications that paid no royalties to song authors.  In 2004, Hal Leonard published a licensed edition, which pays royalties to song authors. Peter G.

In 1939 he married Helen Donovan of Bourton-on-the-Water, who was noted for her work on Gloucestershire archaeology.  As an Inspector of Ancient Monuments he wrote or commissioned authoritative guide books to ancient monuments of all periods.  He specialised in medieval castles.  One of the guide books he wrote was on Dartmouth Castle, where the ‘Guntower’ building of 1481 and 1495 is the earliest surviving English coastal fortress specifically built to carry guns.  This gave him a great interest in the development of early artillery fortification, in which he became a leading expert.  His book "Castles and Cannon; A study of Early Artillery Fortifications in England", has become a standard work.  This was published in 1960, six years after his premature death at the age of 49.  He also wrote on the coastal castles of the Gold Coast as well as studying the defences of Tangiers and Rhodes.
