Hi, smutspot (?)- I suppose you found the reference to the songbooks in the database with the "dunderbeck" lyrics. Your best bet is to check www.amazon.com or www.altbookstore.com to see if the books are available, but I doubt that they are. I've searched for similar titles, and haven't come across these. Camp songbooks tend to last about one printing, I think. The best I've seen is "The Prairie Home Companion Folk Song Book," which was reissued at "Joe's Got a Head Like a Ping Pong Ball." It's out of print, buy frequently available in used bookstores. Powell's (Portland, OR) and Moe's (Berkeley, CA) are two good online used bookstores (and they're even better to visit in person).
Globe Pequot Press has a $9.95 paperback called "Campfire Songs." I bought it online because it sounded interesting, and found it was a collection of maybe a hundred songs that I already know - and I'll betcha almost all of them are in the database. Dover has a book coming out in October called "500 Best Loved Song Lyrics." Dover has reprinted some wonderful songbooks, so I'm anxious to see what this new book will be like.
The best place to look is right here in the database. Use the search box in the upper right corner of most pages here, and search for @camp or @kids (the @symbol will bring up all the songs in a given category). With some 6,500 songs, this is the best collection of songs anywhere. Of course, camp songs are meant to be passed on by word of mouth, without use of songbooks - ever try reading a songbook by the light of a campfire?
