I usually find books like this on Ebay or Etsy, at used bookstores (rarely), and at antique malls. I would guess it might go for $20 on Ebay, maybe $30 if you find a buyer who is interested in the editors, the publisher, the region, or the time period. Problem is, there are a bajillion paperback songbooks like that from Stamps-Baxter in the 1940s-1950s, and most people won't distinguish the relative rarity of the book you have from the rest. But if you do Ebay, you can leave it up there until the right buyer finds it.David Russell Hamrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12410543431669138559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7344677692714876092.post-8277925038765106492022-05-24T20:17:41.571-05:002022-05-24T20:17:41.571-05:00Jan, so sorry for the delay.
