The first edition of Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect is now on display in Fife, with 50 pages missing due to being torn out and used to clean razors
A rare first edition of Robert Burns’s debut poetry collection, found in a barber shop, has gone on display in Fife, Scotland.
The book, titled Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect, is missing its first 50 pages. These were ripped out by the owner of a barber shop in Shrewsbury in Shropshire, who used them to clean his razors.
