Does anyone have her Not A Still Life songbook? I have seen it referenced as a 50 page spiral bound book, but have never seem a copy. |

It looks like Interlibrary Loan is the only way to get your hands on a copy of the disc. One of the listings suggests that the disc includes a 12-page booklet. That's the only reference to print material that I find. But then, out of curiosity, I took a look at YouTube. Here is the album. |

06 Feb 22 - 09:22 PM (#4135650) Subject: RE: Chord Req: Ferron Not A Still Life songbook From: keberoxu Ferron has been through a whole series of record labels, and at one point even self-published some recordings. I do see our GUEST's point when i look up Ferron's Wikipedia entry, which states: Not A Still Life: Songbook. (1993) (wire-bound to lay flat) Nemesis Publishing, Vashon, Washington what about contacting the Washington State publisher? |

Not a single copy available for sale. The album is available on Amazon - and you can play it for free, if you're a Prime member. https://music.amazon.com/albums/B0014EVWTY?refMarker=dm_wcp_af_r&ref=dm_ws_dp_ald_bb_phfa_xx_xx_xx&do=play& -Joe- |

The booklet that accompanies the CD does not contain the songbook, it was published separately. I know the songbook exists because it was advertised by ladyslipper music in a catalog entry I found online. It is no longer available among any sellers that I have found. Thought there might be someone here who had a copy. |

You'll have to keep your eyes open on places like eBay and Bookfinder (I also went there, before logging on to WorldCat). And since it appears she worked with a publisher on Vashon Island (Washington) you might want to check with some of the Seattle Song Circle and Vancouver Song Circle folks. |
