Books written by or about TGS Alumni


Kathy Botham (nee Waller)
"Living with a Legend"
Grafton Books 1987 219pp
Attended TGS 1966-73 (approx)

This album contains details of all known books written by or about various TGS alumni. Note that TGS is mentioned by name in some but not all. They are presented by date of publication, not by date of attendance, hence Sir Graham is, at the time of writing, last on the list.
Most are out of print, but all except "Teachers Tales" (limited print run) and "From the Tools....." (print on demand) are available on Amazon. Enquiries about Mr. Lawson's memoirs should be directed to the administrators of this site.

  9. I want a copy of James Lawson's book, but do not know how to contact the 'administrators' as indicated. I was in his A level English History class from 1951 to 1954 and have always tresured the memories of a talented and humerous teacher, Brian Bristow (brianbristow@talktalk.net)

  13. I don't know if anyone is still reading this but here goes anyway...

    I was at TGS in 1965-72 (John Redmond email - jred5104@gmail.com -). I have (co-)written or (co-)edited around a dozen books, mostly academic books. The latest is published this month (August 2020) and is called "The Alternative Christmas Letters"(second edition). It is not academic. It is available on Amazon and/or you can get an extended flyer with extracts from me by emailing me. The book is meant to be (and hopefully is) largely humorous and contains some passages that feature TGS.
