A Great Idea at the Time Vol. I

Gordon Wright's first volume of Memoirs covers the years from 1942 until 1973. He paints a vivid picture of growing up in Edinburgh; schooldays; fifteen years working as a camera operator in three different Edinburgh printing companies; working as a semi-pro dance band guitarist; observations as an attendant at the big pop concerts in the ABC cinema; training at the Dunedin weightlifting club and joining a partnership to open a health studio in Portobello before starting to publish Scottish literature in his spare time and the start of his professional publishing career. The book is packed with incidents and anecdotes and illustrated with 136 illustrations. A fascinating insight into Scotland's recent past.
