I saw this new book this weekend that might be of interest to John's collectors:

I was pretty sure I had heard of this before from Cairnbeg:

...finished with "Jacobites - A New History of the '45 Rebellion" by Jacqueline Riding....which makes use of comments taken from numerous letters written at the time by key individuals and witnesses to the events to tell the story, one of the last chapters in the book being very poignant relating to the executions of Lord's Kilmarnock and Balmerino, very readable.......having said that, if you are learning about the Rebellion for the first time then try the more detailed works by the likes of....Christopher Duffy (overall history), Martin Margulies (Prestonpans), Frank McLynn (England), Geoffrey Bailey (Falkirk), Stuart Reid (Culloden)...
