Much of the shape-note tradition is aimed at amateurs. It's trying to 
get a strong community-wide music tradition from minimal educational 
resources. For that 1969 book, the level of music training behind it is 
probably higher than many of the others.

There is also a successor, "Hymnal: A Worship Book" from 1992.

But I don't own one of those and can't find page scans anywhere.
