Pictorial wrappers, stapled. 9 x 12 inch format. 16pp. Some wear to spine and corners, but a very good copy of an extremely fragile and cheaply-produced book. Ownership signature and stamp on front cover. The cover features a picture of Ralph Maddison, billed as "The Premier Canadian Tenor", "The Singing Miner", and "Canada's Greatest Ballad Singer!". Maddison was from Springhill, Nova Scotia, and as a young man he worked in the mines there. He became a successful singer and toured in the vaudeville circuit for about 20 years, apparently being very popular in Western Canada. In the mid-30s he returned to Springhill and worked in the mines until his death in 1940. This book contains songs by a variety of writers, presumably ones which were performed by Maddison at the time.
