Review of Liverpool A People's History
This is the best city history I have read, and certainly better than any history of my home town of Manchester. I am not an avid reader, but this book was gripping from beginning to end, not least due to the supurb range of historical maps of Liverpool illistrated within. For anyone interested in Liverpool or old maps of Liverpool, then this is the book to get.

Liverpool A people's History
Not read it all yet, just arrived, but it looks fantastic. Full of useful information, pictures and old maps, many in colour. As a Mancunian, with Liverpudlian ancestors I'm sure it will keep me busy for hours! The book begins in the 13th century and works it's way through to 2008. Old street maps, with an index of the origins of some of the street names.

It brings history alive!
This really is an excellent book. I grew up in Liverpool in the aftermath of the 2nd world war when it was in a sorry state.
Having left in the late 60`s there is so much of the city`s history I did not know. This book is filling in all the gaps, with really interesting text and some great maps. It brings history alive.
