what is the best fake book or jazz book?

The "illegal" 5th Edition Real Book Vol I is sloppy but the best Ive seen. Many giggin jazzers dont like the 6th Edition because they dropped many of the songs (they didnt have permission to some of the songs, and others were omitted and move to other volumes). I have both, I use the 6th mostly just because it's cleaner and the chords are more "correct" (for example: in All of Me they use a Cmaj7 but the tonic, the note C) is the melody, so theory says you should make that a C6 to avoid that minor 2nd clash from the B and C), but I like the songs the 5th uses more...I dont like the New Real Books though, not my cup of tea. There are pdf version's of each all over the internet (some are hosted illegally on file-sharing sites like 4shared)

Reply to Soulmate: What I was talking about is that in songs when the root of the chord is also in the melody, it usually sounds better to put a 6 chord in the place of a maj7. In All of Me the 1st note is C which is played over a maj7 chord, which isnt the "best" voicing for that. A C6 would avoid any potential minor 2nd clashes from a B and a C. You get me? I understand that a maj9 can be in the place of maj7 and that a properly voiced maj7 will sound nice on its own, but that 6th Edition real book fixed little things like that.
