A fake book is a collection of lead sheets that have been transcribed manually or otherwise copied. The fake book is a central part of the culture of playing music in public, particularly in jazz, where improvisation is particularly valued.

A song in a fake book contains the melody line, basic chords, and lyrics, the minimal information for musicians adept in improvising to make an impromptu arrangement of a song, or "faking it".

Fake books are not intended for novices: the reader must follow and interpret the scant notation. For someone playing music as a hobby, fake books can be an avenue to playing songs very quickly; a few chords and a one-note melody line can allow an amateur to play a passable version of any song with surprising ease.
