Any Vocal Book Suggestions?

Hi!
I was just wondering if you guys had any suggestions for vocal books. Preferably a collection of songs from different shows. I'm a Baritone. Thanks in advance!

I got this book, its called the singers musical theatre anthology for baritone/basses. It has a lot of songs in it thats in your range and its fairly inexpensive.

I have one of The Singer's Musical Theatre Anthology books. Although in terms of auditions, the songs can be overdone, I worship the book. It also introduced me to a lot of shows.

I like this book.
Basics of Singing by Jan Schmidt

It includes a lot of songs from musical theatre to folk songs to art songs. One thing I like about it is that it includes a cd which I can sing with. This is specially helpful because I cannot always find a person to play piano for me.

BTW, is there any other theatre songbook with a piano cd?

I use a lot of Hal-Leonard books in my vocal studies. My coach recommends them. I believe the Singers' Anthology mentioned above is one of their publications. Quite a few come with CD's that have the music with and without the singer so you can practise/perform. The books I have have a selection of songs from various musicals. A quick Google will get you the website and any decent music store would likely either stock them or could order them for you. I live in Canada and we can do that here, so I am supposing you can do the same.
Have a Happy New Year!
