   I was just reading that the closing of pianofiles was mentioned     
   in 2014.  Swappano was a pheonix rising in the ashes, but the     
   catalog never built up?   
      
   Meanwhile, I think some people have simply turned to ScribD for     
   postings of existing copies.

   Wow.  I see a "vintage" copy of the 1966 Gary Lewis one for     
   $64USD on ebay right now.   
      
   I sold a handful of "vintage" songbooks at my shop for about $50     
   each, one time.

   Not myself, but I find current songbooks "good enough"  Hal     
   Leonard publishes many songs in book form.  I don't see anything     
   over $25USD.
