Song book, a book containing lyrics and notes for songs. Song books may be simple composition books or spiral-bound notebooks. Music publishers also produced printed editions for group singing.[1][2]. Such volumes were used in the U.S. by piano manufacturers as a marketing tool.[3]

Song books containing religious music are often called hymnals; books containing the music for hymns with minimal, or no words, are sometimes called "Tune books".[4]
