In the words of the author this book is a miscellany covering many subjects. It includes "people, places, personalities, protests, parades, plays, provosts, politics and poets". The pictures reflect a town recovering from the trauma of global war - this is a who-are-you, where-are-you kind of book. Among its varied contents are pictures of a circus elephant, the Bobby Barr Dancers, George Dobie's tobacco works, the ubiquitous Paisley Rocketeers and many more delightful and quirky human interest photos of Buddies from the 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s.
