"Shanties from the Seven Seas" by Stan Hugill. The new U.S. edition (1994) was published by Mystic Seaport Museum, 75 Greenmanville Ave., Mystic, CT., USA, 06355, & is available from them. They have a web site if you care to visit them (don't know how to send you). Stan's collection is considered to be the largest, most in depth (including the standards) & probably the most informative of all the collections on shanties (there are also many illustrations, I think all done by Stan). You can't do better than this, most of the other great collections , you'll find are now out of print. The music is also there. Barry
