Rabbie Burns, sewn pages, Daily Edition and jolly beggers poem on page 63?

I have a very old Book by Burns. 4"x5" and PROLOGUE - Hail Caledonia is on the last printed page which is 354. The book is sewn and is missing the cover.

It starts on CONTENTS page 5

To me it looks very old. The pages are cream coloured and edged with a shiny golden finish.

I would love to know if it has any value at all. My father, who was a Scot, left it to me years ago.

Update:

I should add that the wee book is an inch thick. there must be over a hundred poems in it. Should I sell it or keep for another 10 years?

    It may well be valuable. Take it to an antiquarian or someone who specializes in old books.
