I have several of the books you mention, as I have a special interest in Wallace. I used to visit him every time I went to see my Granny. He was displayed with his little leather boots in the fire station in Ingram Street, which is now a restaurant.
I asked at the People's Palace on my last visit and was told he is now in the storage facility at Nitshill, but could be visited on request.
The books I have are -
Wallace the Fire Dog
Wallace's School Adventure
Wallace loses his Boots
Wallace and the Fireworks
I am still trying to get 'Wallace has a Happy Christmas'.
These children's books were written by James Drummond and illustrated by Louise Annand, except for the 'City Chambers' book, which was illustrated by Sandra Pratt.
If you are able to get an original 1960s 'Wallace- Glasgow's Immortal Fire Dog' book by Albert Terhune, they change hands at incredible prices.
I am hoping to put together a talk/small book about Wallace sometime in the future, when I can find time.
I will watch this thread with interest.
