For all this you could only get about 20,000 songs per book maximum.
From my experience, the large lever arch files that you could get a lot more songs listed in, is that they can tend to spring open and the pages go everywhere

So my suggestion would be to either not bother to print a book if you have 100,000 titles as there can't be many requests you wouldn't have

Other than that just print a selection of about 15 - 20,000 so that there is a selection for them to refer to but tell the audience if they can't find what they want just ask.
Hi Roy, this sounds interesting, could you post a screen shot of a page...

Thanks,

Joe...
