REFERENCE INDEX |
Reproduction of old documents and books are to be found below. The listings have been included in a single page, instead of spread over about five or six. General is defined as books or articles featuring more than one area. Therefore any books that seem to be missing from individual villages will be under general, eg Mills of the River Ayr takes in Muirkirk to Ayr, or Sorn Parish History by Helen Steven takes in Catrine.

Taylor has reproduced some small booklets and articles, which are
ready to print in book form. To print out any of the publications
in booklet form, open the required pdf, and in the file menu, click
Print. The following box, or similar of course, depending on the
printer used will pop up. At the bottom left, click on the odd pages
only tag. |
So long as the printer is like the HP Deskjet 690 series, let all the pages come out the machine in order. Leave until all the sheets are out in the tray. Place the top sheet at the bottom, second top sheet second bottom, etc and place them back in the printer, the same way they have come out. The print side in the HP type feed tray will be facing upwards. Click on the file, print command. Click on the even pages only, as above graphic. So long as the pages don't stick together, you now have a booklet. NB:Since that was written, that series of printers will long be relegated to the bin, but the principal is the same. |
