Type
 ISBN

***The Police - Message In A Box: The Complete Transcriptions (Guitar Recorded Versions)*** is a book by Hal Leonard. It is based on the album of the same name (except *The Complete Transcriptions* was originally *The Complete Recordings*) and features all of The Police's songs, as well as some live versions. The book contains four volumes in four different books that come in a cardboard case. Each book was single-handedly transcribed by a transcriber.

The book is extremely rare and is very expensive online. It is presumed due to its high retail price, not many people could afford or decided to buy it.

## Trivia

* All of the songs in the 2nd Edition of The Police - Best of The Police (Guitar Recorded Versions) use the transcriptions from this book.
