A rare first-edition copy of a collection of Scots songs is now for sale for £5200. Collector Kevin Brown acquired it from a defunct bookstore in the US more than two years ago. Most of the songs in the book are from Robert Burns and few copies have survived intact, according to the Centre for Robert Burns Studies at the University of Glasgow.
