The Scrapbook of Old Tom Morris.

David Joy is perhaps the world's leading expert on Old Tom Morris. This book was inspired when a member of the British Royal Family asked to borrow some of David's notes on the life of Old Tom Morris and the history of Golf.

Reluctant to part with such a great treasure, David decided to publish the book for all to enjoy ... and also so he didn't have to part with his own book again !

The St.Andrews Seven

The St. Andrews Seven chronicles the rise of an emphasis on overseas missions among several students at St. Andrews and their Professor. Then, as now, there were those who felt that the Christian faith was not academically respectable, yet these students were both accomplished scholars and men of faith. Their effects on the establishment of overseas missions and colleges, especially in India, and the rigors of student life, faith and politics at St. Andrews in the 18th century are an inspiration for students even today.
