320 pages; from the title Page: "A Musical Library of Popular Songs and Music: The Song Lovers' Treasury, A repertory for home or concert including The Masterpieces of Both Hemispheres with the Choicest Melodies and Most Popular Songs by world famous composers; with complete accompaniment for piano or organ, to which is added a supplemental collection of choice instrumental music carefully selected and edited by George M. Vickers. Profusely enriched and embellished by Numerous Engravings printed in color, including Portraits and Biographies of the Most Distinguished and Popular Musicians and Composers." Song selection is a mixture of popular and classical music. Vocal music (Circa 120 pieces) and Instrumental (c. 20 pieces); accompaniments are arranged both for the organ and piano. Illustration color is limited to a tan narrow frame around the picture. Front cover is a multicolor neoclasssic, pleasing design, still attractive; cover corners are worn, three show a small amount of board under the red cloth--likewise there is a small break on the lower cover adjacent the spine; spine top and bottom edges have moderate wear; book edges have darkenened to a moderate tan color--a number of pages have a bit of foxing in the upper margins, heavier foxing is around the frontispiece (two pages before & after). Some foxing is present in the book but presents little problem in its use. Publishers information on this book is lacking. W.E. Scull registered this book in the office of the Library of Congress in 1905.
