Does anybody know where I might find a table of contents by artist, for the 6th edition Real Book?

I could not find a table of contents by artist without downloading the whole book. Finding a list of songs is easy and one site listed the composer by each song. Finding downloads of the book is very easy, but you probably already knew that.

The 6th edition is getting a lot of criticism and many prefer the 5th edition.

Yeah, I bought the book years ago and only reference now and then. Recently teaching online, I've seen a surplus of jazz students (not sure why thats happening now!) It would just be nice to know at quick reference, what songs by certain artists are in there. Curious, what are the criticisms of the 6th edition?

The criticisms I read had to do with songs left out and songs in the wrong key.

I own the 5th edition too.
