The Wee Book of Glasgow [Paperback]

Robert Jeffrey (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 2003

The Dear Green Place has always dispensed unforgettable memories. The energy and humour of the folk who have lived on the banks of the Clyde down the years is legendary. Here, in this little book, are fifty of the best photographs ever taken of the city. They reflect the life of the people who built the locomotives and ships that became famous throughout the world - the same people who so loved to dance to the throb of the big bands and who flocked to theatres to laugh at local comedians galore. This is a warm family album in miniature depicting a great city, past and present. No one who has lived in or visited Glasgow should be without it.

This review is from: The Wee Book of Glasgow (Paperback)

I purchased this book because my mother was born and raised in Glasgow. She was born during WWII and told us kids stories of living through all the strange "excitement". I thought this book would depict "everyday" life and I was not disappointed. Although a small book in size, the photos are amazing in their details. If you have ANY interest in Glasgow or Scotland, this book is a wonderful addition to your library.
