I sorted through the sheet music books I acquired recently (yay). They span between 1937 and 1991. Quite a few from the 1940s and 1950s. One from 1943 which was in the middle of the war. Blows my mind that someone cared about music so much they were publishing sheet music amidst the terrors.
Then there are lots from the 1980s which are mostly in very good condition and look barely used.
There are different genres and musical instruments (piano, guitar, accordion etc). I uploaded all 300+ books . If you’re interested in anything, or send a chat on tumblr for a quote or additional pics/info.
