Rare Robert Burns book saved after pages ripped out in late 1800s
A rare first edition of a book of Robert Burns poems was saved by a collector in the late 1800s as it was being ripped up by a barber to clean razors.
It will be on show in the reading room from 3 January to 5 February, coinciding with Burns Night on 25 January. "The only noted owner is an Alexander Dick in 1790, so there's more research to be done if we are to chart the book's journey to Shrewsbury," she said.
