A History and Catalogue of the Lindsay Library, 1570-1792: The Story of 'Some Bonie Litle Bookes'

by Kelsey Jackson Williams, William Zachs, Jane Stevenson

This is the first study of Jacobean Scotland's largest library: the collection assembled over several generations by the Lindsays of Balcarres.
