Thread Name: Pills to Purge Melancholy IN PRINT!
Subject: RE: Help: Pills to Purge Melancholy 2
My 1959 reprint edition of the 1876 reprint was issued by Folklore Library Publishers, New York. It's rather cheaply bound in 3 vols. The 1876 reprint has been stated to have been extraordinarily accurate. I can't remember how much I paid for them a few years later, but somewhere in the range of $35-50. Judging by the astronomical prices of volumes of Bronson's 'Traditional Tunes...', and the Dover paperback reprint of Child's ESPB, the market is great for booksellers, but collecting such is now a rich person's hobby. Good luck.

Let me know if you want any specific songs from my reprint.
