Song book

A song book is a book containing lyrics for songs. Song books may be simple composition books or spiral-bound notebooks. Music publishers also produced printed editions for group singing. Such volumes were used in the United States by piano manufacturers as a marketing tool.The One Hundred and One Best Songs, The Cable Company, Piano Makers, Chicago, IL. 1912

Song books containing religious music are often called hymnals; books containing the music for hymns with minimal, or no words, are sometimes called tune books.
