When people write songs good enough to read ,they usually have a successful songbook. It would be great if Jeff and Jack would put one out, better if illustrated by Jeff. It would help people who don't speak English cover his songs without distorting them . The lyrics in CD booklets are cramped and hard to read. It could be done inexpensively as a comic book, sold at gigs and on the net with the others. Hope they have the resources for this or can find a publisher.

This is an awesome idea, especially for us non english/american. I would like to see Jack lyrics too, not only Jeff's ones.
But i find it great to seek lyrics and tabs, it's pretty fun to do.

There was, or still is. a French publisher named Seghers which published song lyrics in a series called "Poètes d'aujourd'hui". I wonder if they ever publish anyone in English.

No, but I may see him this weekend. He will be in NYC two nights. I suspect he has enough to do right now.
