Customer Reviews

Interesting, but not a 'must have' for Smiths fans
I bought this for my husband who is a big Smiths fan, and whilst it was interesting, a lot of the places mentioned are merely venues where the Smiths or Morrissey have played. There are some iconic sites/sights mentioned, such as the cemetry(sic) gates and of course Salford Lads Club, but I would say this is only really for the complete die-hard Mozzas.
