Night Song of the Last Tram
Robert Douglas
Not strictly a local book itself, but rather a book by a local author, Night Song of the Last Tram is a poignant and funny memoir of growing up in a single-end tenement in Glasgow. Since publication the book has received rave reviews, but it nearly didn't get published at all: its author at first resisted the urge to fire off the suggested three chapters to the publishers, thinking they were 'bound to be inundated'. But send them he did, and the response was immediate: his book was 'a cracking good read'.
