If, like me, you are a Dunbar fan, and if, like me, you have editions of his poems edited by Priscilla BAWCUTT you will find that she did not allow any of the poems in my Dunbar ‘Apocrypha’ to sully her pages. All these poems have at one time or another been attributed to Dunbar but I can almost hear Priscilla Bawcutt cry𐡌𐡍𐡄 𐡌𐡍𐡄 𐡕𐡊𐡋 𐡅𐡐𐡓𐡎𐡍- although the cry would have from right to left, natch. Even though her ruthlessly forensic approach banished them all to outer darkness they are still of interest and below you will find a link to print them in booklet form.

The PDF is laid out to print A4 double sided and fold in half as an A5 booklet.
The booklet can be stapled or sewn together. Being a book-nerd I prefer the latter. In case you don't know how, make a small hole with a needle about ¾” in from the top edge plus another 4 evenly-spaced holes about 1” apart through the centre fold of the pages. Starting from the centre inside, sew as in the diagram at left. [Click to enlarge.] Tie A and B together on the inside of the centre-fold to finish. Enjoy !
