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.

Dictionary of Scottish Church History

History with wonderful insights to the otherwise shadowy realms

size.
