A very rare, vintage lot of 2 songbooks that date from about 1942, "Singspiration Numbers 1 & 2 Gospel Songs and Choruses" compiled by Alfred B Smith. These 2 songbooks are among the first of the "Singspiration" songbooks that were compiled by the legendary Alfred B. Smith of Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois. This is Mr. Smith's effort to put together into songbooks the many old and new Gospel songs that were popular at Wheaton during those difficult World War Two years. These songbooks contain many, many songs found in today's hymnals, many were "new" for that time period. (see indexes pictured). 200 + songs with Fast Shipping!
Condition Notes: grades as acceptable to good- as 2 vintage songbooks, both of which have shelf & use wear, but are free from markings, binding is pretty good for the age. these are mid-1940's songbooks. vol.1 has a couple loose pages but Vol. 2 has no loose pages. index for both books pictured. Very rare.
