Got it in the gift shop, it was the perfect souvenir. Big full color pictures and interesting facts about the college. I like how it walks you through the founding, a history of the buildings, and finally details about the main attraction- the Old Library and Book of Kells.

I wish there was a picture of the cover in this Goodreads entry, it really is beautiful. Really glad I brought it home.

This is a concise history of Trinity College that includes a quick look at it today. The book contains photographs, a map of the campus, and a good section on further reading.

A fine little read, filled mostly with photographs. It's a quick, concise history of Trinity College, meant mostly as tourist memorabilia.
