A number of folks have bought this CD. I was one of the first. It is everything it claims to be. Gordon Cherry takes parts that are now in the public domain out of the library, copies them on a copy machine or scanner that produces a PDF file, and collects the resulting files on the CD's. When you print them on a laser printer, they are just like the originals.
The only limitation is that parts from works not in the public domain are not included, and some parts even from older works that I would like to see aren't there (or aren't there yet). There are limitations to the library from which he is making his extractions. For example, the Vaughan Williams 2nd Symphony, which is now in the public domain, is not there, and probably it isn't because these were rental parts from Novello (Galaxy?) and aren't in the library. But there's lots there and what's there is a direct copy of the real part.
