Dundee books: Travel Guides
	Aberdeen, Dundee and Central Scotland: Macdonald's Tourists' Guide 1925 Originally published in 1925, this guide uses the routes of the Caledonian and North British Railway companies between Glasgow, Aberdeen, and the territory of the Great North of Scotland and Highland Railways. The style is entirely practical, and remarkably informative. A particular feature is the habit of quoting the cost of buildings and structures, where known; for example, the Convict Prison in Perth, for French prisoners, cost GBP130,000 in 1812, while Dundee's Prison cost GBP26,000 in 1836. Both were soon enlarged. By the time of publication, the British railways had been brought into four groups, after the ravages of the Great War. However, what was to prove a more substantial threat to their dominance of the travel and tourist market had already arrived - chars-a-banc and motor 'buses provided the "favourite excursions".

Dundee books: History & Heritage
	Dundee Memories Ian Malcolm was born into a Scotland which has now almost entirely vanished. The crowded, narrow streets of Dundee's Overgate which he describes have been replaced with shopping centres; the trams which rattled through the City Square have long been silenced and Dundee University campus now stands on the site which used to be Hawkhill's busy community centre. In Dundee Memories, the routine and atmosphere of Dundee life in the twenties, thirties and forties is expertly recreated. From his earliest memories as a toddler in a Blackness Road Tenement through childhood fun and games, to evacuation and then eventual employment in Dundee's thriving jute industry, the author recalls in vivid detail the habits and incidents of an almost forgotten time. Price: £6.99 Publication: October 2005
	The Dundee Whalers 1750-1914 This is a study of what was Britain's leading whaling port. Today, Dundee captains and the city's whaling fleet have a permanent place in the geography of the world. Cape Adams, Cape Milne, Artic Bay and Eclipse Sound recall an era when the city's stoutly built ships, manned by heroic adventurers, discovered new routes, made new friends, but seldom sailed far from danger. In Dundee itself, streets such as Whale Lane and Baffin Street serve as reminders of an era in which Dundee dominated the whaling grounds. Moreover, the Dundee fleet has excelled as polar exploration ships, providing vessels for Captain Scott, Ernest Shackleton and Admiral Byrd, leaving a permanent reminder of the city's historic role at Dundee Island, Antarctica. An appendix lists all the ships and their captains. Price: £10.49 Publication: May 1, 2004
