The Colleges of Cambridge University by Andrew Hunter Blair
This is not just another book about Cambridge. It is unique in that it brings together in one publication the 31 colleges that comprise the University of Cambridge. Following a brief introduction and history of each college, there follows details of that college's unique features. Such features include buildings, libraries, famous people and gardens, many of which are chosen to encompass, through some lateral thinking, a very wide range of topics associated with the university as a whole. Thoroughly researched and fully illustrated by the author with a wealth of stunning photographs, this book gives a unique insight into the workings, both past and present, of Cambridge University and all its colleges.

The son of a Cambridge University don and a college Vice Master, he was educated at King's College Choir School Cambridge, Rugby School and Queen's University Belfast.
