The following are the results of an ongoing research project to locate books containing men's barbershop arrangements which have been published over the years. Most of these collections are out of print and hard to find, so, wherever possible, I have listed libraries where they may be found; this list of libraries is by no means comprehensive. I compiled this list of information from internet searches of library databases as well as trips to libraries. Suggestions and comments are always welcome: e-mail me at drewsills at yahoo dot com.

BH Barber Shop Harmony: a Collection of New and Old Favorites For Male Quartets. ed. Sigmund Spaeth. New York: Mills Music, Inc., 1942. 32 p., 31 cm.
Eight of the arrangements presented in this volume ("How Dry I Am," "My Evaline," "Workin' on the Railroad," "Down Mobile," "Shine," "Bring the Wagon Home, John," and "Shall I Wasting In Despair,") are reprints of those contained in Barber Shop Ballads. "Way Down Yonder in the Corn Field," and "I Had a Dream Dear" are offered in slightly longer versions here. "Aura Lee" is different. The other titles had not appeared previously. Two of them were obviously latter-day creations by members of the then-six-year old S.P.E.B.S.Q.A., rather than arrangements of old songs. This book was still in print as late as 1996; Warner Brothers music now owns the publishing rights.

H77 Happiness is . . . 77 Barbershop Favorites. ed. David C. Olsen. Miami, FL: Columbia Pictures Pub., 1986.
Roughly speaking, this book combines the contents of three books: Hugo Fry's Barber Shop Memories nos. 1 &2, and Sig Spaeth's Barber Shop Harmony. There are a few interesting anomalies worth noting, however. "Down Among the Sheltering Palms" and "I Don't Know Why" from Memories no. 1, is missing, while "When the Moon Comes Over the Mountain" and "Barbershopping Reaches Ev'rywhere" appears from some unknown source (at least the source is unknown to me). Perhaps even more curious is the fact that seven of the song titles originally from Memories no. 1 appear, but not in the same arrangements. The source of these arrangements is apparently Barber Shop Jubilee, a collection of barbershop arrangements for mixed voices (SATB) from 1957. The contents of Memories no. 2 and Harmony are reproduced intact. The songs are assembled in approximately alphabetical order.
