I just inquired about a songbook to go with the new _Serious Steel_ album, and got
the following answer:

Does anyone have any idea on how well such a songbook would sell? I'm always
trying to get my hands on legitimate copies of music I've heard and enjoyed, but I
also know I'm not a good judge of when my views are representative and when I'm
just being weird, nor do I know how many musicians there are out there who would
buy such a songbook at, say, $10, $15 or $20. Does anyone have an idea?
