Finding the originals in a skip does not result in transfer of copyright from the author. Transfer must be in writing. If you found (or bought, as some collectors do) the manuscript of a book, all you own is the physical copy of the work. In the absence of specific permission, you are not entitled to make copies , as ownership of the copyright in the work would remain with the author.
