The legal Real Book is valuable in that the print quality is higher than a 10-times-xeroxed copy. Melody, lyrics, and chords -- that's all. No chord voicings, no solos. There was a wikitunes.com site that had lead sheets for most standards, but I think that did get sued into oblivion. The chords are just "suggestions," of course. A real player will see Bb11-5 and think "oh, that's a 7th chord. I'll add some notes if I feel like it."
