Siringo issued this little song booklet because the songs fit together nicely and many are mentioned in his new book at the time, A LONE STAR COW-BOY. The Song Companion has the original wrappers, with light wear to the spine ends, a small corner crease to the front cover, tiny corner chips to three corners and light wear to the extremities, else a very good copy. This is a rare item. The copy of A Lone Star Cowboy has the former owner's inked name and address on the front fly leaf, covers lightly rubbed, light wear to the spine ends, corners and extremities, title a bit dull on the front cover and spine, else a good copy of a scarce book. Song Companion housed in a four point clamshell case and both books are presented in a matching cloth slipcase that is lined with felt and with titles on paper labels on the front and spine. Only the second copy of the Song Companion we've handled a rare item and a Merrill Aristocrat of the Cow Country.
