because half the time they are inaccurate and not even in the original key

and their selection isn't as good as the Real Book

well when they first came out, people made the fake books and they were sold on the black market because it was so damn expensive to buy sheet music for every song they wanted. thus they were illegal. there is more to the story, but i forget it, my teacher in jazz-rock improv class told us the story, sorry i cant explain more about it
