Lyr Req: Molly O'Day songbooks

A friend of mine is looking for Molly O'Day songbooks. He thinks that three were published and were promoted through her radio shows in the 1940's. I do not have titles and I have had no luck with an internet search. If any Catters know of them, any info would be greatly appriciated.
       Thanks!

Contents lists for 6 songbooks of Molly O'Day and/or Lynn Davis, from 1944-1974, appear in Ivan Tribe and John Morris' "Molly O'Day, Lynn Davis, and the Cumberland Mountain Folks: A Bio-Discography" (JEMF, 1976). I have xeroxes of a few pages from the booklet, which include lyrics (no melody lines) to 3 or 4 songs. There may be more of these in the booklet itself. I don't know if it is still in print.

I think that Bear Family Records has a 2 CD set of Molly's and Lynn's songs. I saw her several times back in the mid '40's. She was one of my favorites. The Carlisle brothers and Wally Fowler were others of that era who were centered in the Knoxville area.
