Thank you. I'm anonymous because I bought this as gift for my mother, who sometimes visits Mudcat, too. I paid 275.00 for it. It's way out of my price-range, but we were so excited I am sharing the cost with the rest of the family... Have no idea if this is a reasonable price or not, yet. You can't find it online because I bought it! It's in the mail, already, but I haven't seen it. I have to admit I'm a little nervous about having done this. I bought it from sweetbeagle.com . It's one volume, supposedly in "good+" condition, with 122 songs; 323 tunes.

I intend to watch the movie Songcatcher, although I've been told it bears only minimal truth.

Now off I go to read those articles you linked to... thank you all!
