Cowboy Song Books

Good source books for the old cowboy and western music are getting increasingly difficult to find and tend to go out of print quickly.  If you are trying to build a reference library it's worth picking them up when you can find them.  The, now out of print,  "Cowboy and Western Songs - A comprehensive Anthology" is going for as high as $110 in "as new" condition and very few are available.  Good books are an investment worth having.  Here is a worth while collection of books worthy of your consideration.
