Yup:
Songbook = 10 tracks
Album = 13 tracks

If I had to recommend one book/vinyl to represent the Harlem Renaissance input to the American "calypso craze" this would be it:

Soprano Massie Patterson of "Rum & Coca Cola" copyright trial fame and husband S.C. Patterson. Plus Sammy Heyward (LP only) and Drs. C.E. Mauge Jr. & W.E. Merrick.
