Before the Internet, it was very difficult to learn songs. Mostly what I would do is play a record for a brief time, write down the words and then move the needle back to get the next lyric... Often, the words were hard to understand... Then I would have to guess what chords were being played... Subtle differences like "What Key the song is in..." were totally impossible to figure out from the record [for me]... So having the Grateful Dead Sheet Music Book was a blessing because the secrets were all revealed! AND! WE got a dozen Interesting Illustrations...
