Info: Heart of Glasgow is still regarded as THE quintessential book on Glasgow. It stays strictly within the bounds of what has always been referred to as "the City," that is, the area resembling a cross and consisting of the High Street from as far north as the cathedral down to Bridgegate on the Clyde with the east-west thoroughfare stretching across the High Street through the Trongate and down what was to become Argyle Street.

Here, and in the surrounding closes, courts, backlands, feus, and glebes all human life was to be found.
Jack House's seminal work is presented in the form of a tour, ensuring that it will appeal to Glaswegians and visitors alike.

On it he introduces the reader to many places, some familiar, some not so, and sadly today, many now long gone. 
Jack House was born in Glasgow in 1906 and never wanted to live anywhere else. He left school at the age of 15 and was trained as a chartered accountant, but "saw the light" in time to give up accountancy and become a newspaperman.
