Scottish rugby has a long and glorious history, great players, great games, great memories. The progress of “the game they play in heaven” has been photographed all the way along its journey, and it is those photos that author Steve Finan has rooted out from dusty newspaper and magazine archives, and various other collections — photos not seen for 40 or 50 years. Squarely aimed at the sports nostalgia market, the book contains around 200 photos of team line-ups, action shots, spectators, Sevens tournaments, and the grounds where the game was played. Readers will recognise the men on the field, remember the games they strived so hard in, and very probably see themselves among the crowds. Great care has been taken to show the game at all levels, from the world record crowd-setting Scotland-Wales match of 1975, to fun-in-the-sun Sevens tournaments on the summer circuit, and Orkney RFC anniversary celebrations. It’s all here. The All Blacks tours are shown (the Haka looks just the same set against a backdrop of Aberdeen multi-storey flats as it does in a World Cup Final). The greats of the past are highlighted, as well as the weekend club rugger lads. This is Scottish rugby.

James Yuill McLean is the architect of one of the greatest achievements in Scottish football history. Winning the League with Dundee United should not have been possible. Taking United to a European Cup (now the Champions’ League) Semi-Final was incredible. Steering a club from Scotland’s fourth-largest city to the UEFA Cup Final (beating Barcelona twice along the way) should have been the stuff of comic fiction. But Jim did it.His achievements deserve recognition.This book is a picture-led record of a man with a gift for recognising talented players, improving them, and playing them in a system that made the name of Dundee United famous around the world. It contains interviews with his players and managerial peers, as well as never-before-seen photos from newspaper and magazine archives.It also contains the thoughts and family photos of Jim’s wife, Doris, who gives her insights on the unseen, private side of the man every Dundee United supporter regards as almost a deity, but who she knew as a husband.The book also looks at Jim’s playing career, his stints with Clyde, Kilmarnock and Dundee, and pictures him in the same teams as his brothers Willie and Tommy. It also has a chapter on the campaign to erect a statue to Jim, with the thoughts of the fund-raising committee, and the various stages in the creation of the statue by sculptor Alan Herriot.Perhaps most importantly, the book contains tributes from ordinary Dundee United supporters. A media campaign was launched asking supporters to email in their tributes to Jim, and these warm and often funny tributes are carried in the book.It is a celebration of a great man.

More than 300 never-before-seen photographs of Rangers FC’s great games and greatest heroes from the Black & White Era. The biggest collection of Rangers team line-ups ever assembled. Aimed squarely at the sports nostalgia/gift market. These photos have lain in the DC Thomson archives and have never been seen by the public. Explanations and scene-setting introductions to all photos.The Rangers book is a large hardback gift book with high production values and pin-point picture clarity.

This is a large-format, photo-led book showing golf in Scotland in the 20th Century as readers will remember it. The words accompanying the images explain the state of the game in Scotland at the time, from the tough days of the 1950s, to the re-emergence of The Open, and golf in Scotland, as a leading light in the world game. The book includes never-published photos of the most famous course of them all, The Old Course at St Andrews, the most difficult course on the Open rota at Carnoustie, and a chapter dedicated to the greatest golf head-to-head ever played, the “Duel In The Sun” at Turnberry in 1977 – among many others. The changing face of the game is explored and explained. There is also a chapter dedicated to women in golf in the black & white era.

I grew up loving all of Dan’s quirks, but I wanted to add a few of my own and take him places he might never have been before. My hope was that a new generation of readers might discover Desperate Dan and think of him the same way I did, as a superhero for funny comics.
