Oma, have you ever checked out eBay? The "Songbook" set is often listed there with bids starting at about $20.00. And the bidding sometimes doesn't go much higher.

If you don't want to put your personal financial information on the web (which you have to do to buy things on eBay with a credit card or through some "account"-type system like Paypal), you can make sure that the seller accepts postal money orders, which cost about 90 cents.

Also, if you decide to do this, it is always wise not to bid on items where the shipping cost is not spelled out (e.g., "shipping will be $4.00 to the domestic US"). Some less-than-scrupulous sellers try to gouge buyers that way.

But don't start eBaying if you don't want to! It's tremendously addictive--a potent combination of gambling and bargain-hunting.
