I have a copy of "Songs That Never Die", referenced by Kendall and Joe Offer in an old thread but can't find that it's ever been indexed on the Mudcat. It is a little more elaborate than other books noted here apparently designed for a more arty audience. In ffact there is a gift presentation page in the front, not filled out in my copy. Incidentally I paid $9.25 for it in some forgotton second hand book store.
