Now I know why I've never been able to find it second-hand in a book shop, most people who have one copy then got a second! It's kind of ironic that the cheaper paper-whitening process referred to earlier should have made the pages go yellow (hey isn't sulphur yellow?).

Trivia aside, this is really great news and well done and many thanks to Malcolm. There are plenty of other books with folk songs out of print. Amongst those that I have borrowed from the library in Oxford are two by Cecil Sharp, at least one by Frank Kidson, another by Lucy Broad-whats-her-name - I was a wee bit upset that someone had chosen to scribble and makes notes in some of them, if I hear "Froggy Goes a Courting" at Oxford FC, my suspicions will be raised.

Once again, thanks Malcolm. You've made it a little bit easier for those of us who can't just pop in to the EFDSS or afford to buy a series of CD's like the "Voice of the People" to enjoy some of the old songs.
