You beat me to it Charlie. I don't have that same book, but I do have a
pocket sized book called A Pocketful of Tunes. 3 & 1/2 by 4 & 1/2 inches it
lists  about 2500 songs cross referenced by;

Composers, Shows, Songs By Year, Titles alphabetically, and Misc including
jazz and Dixie. (this last category is very small)

IT includes this listing: "There's No You" 1944 adair/hopper F

Basically "American Songbook" and invaluable to us working musicians here on
the East Coast. Includes those tunes most requested. When we do those
trio/quartet background gigs for posh society parties, corporate stuff, fund
raisers, art shows, etc., We just pull out the tunes from the book. . .
complete with original key. Or if someone says can you play some Cole
Porter, we check out those tunes under his name, or the shows he wrote for.

Edition I have only goes up to 1993. :-) VBG

Cheers,
Steve
