Interested as I am in this, I got a copy of Book of... from Inter-Library Loan. It gives First printed May 1956. Is that actually the same year given in the ms? Fast printwork.

That's impressive since it's 11 years earlier than the benchmark book, the first "Rugby Songs" volume. Many of the same songs, of course, but significantly different versions.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Chas.
