Here, another delve into the archives of the "Evening Times" has provided more unforgettable images of Glasgow's past. There are chapters showing a beatific snow-covered Glasgow; famous visitors to the city including James Stewart and Brigitte Bardot; the political city of marching and protest; the city disappearing into its famous fog; the ballrooms and dancehalls; boisterous and ecstatic football fans; and childhood memories long since gone. An all-new section entitled 'Then & Now' shows old aerial photographs of how the city was alongside contemporary comparisons.The result is an illuminating and fascinating illustration of how the city has changed from the past to the present.
