I have a copy of this book but not in braille.It was published in 1977 and includes selected lyrics to his songs. It seems to me that this is not an authorized use of his lyrics. In other words someone else selected the lyrics and printed this book and probably received any royalties it made, not Gord. It is a nice little book though.

I feel sure that at some juncture in this books life, either in print or at the editorial stage, Gordon received something for the use of his work.
In my book it clearly states "Lyrics reprinted with permission from Warner Bros. Music, Los Angeles,Ca." Also every song from which a lyric is taken is aknowledged ie.
"All you need is time," from the song 'Cold on the Shoulder', (C) 1974 Moose Music." Gordon must have received a royalty. However I am happy to be shown I am wrong.
