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.
