Description
Book SynopsisA colourful tribute to one of the UKâs most iconic cities with a foreword by Sir Paul McCartney. With its historic port and unique docks next to the mighty river Mersey, Liverpool enchants tourists and locals alike. Its bustling music scene, past and present, defines the city. Pictures of The Beatles and Cilla Black, stars of the 60âs, quickly turn a pub visit into a trip down memory lane. The cityâs vibrancy shines through every page of drawings, illustrations and paintings. They take us to Liverpoolâs grand cathedral and characteristic waterfront, up St Johns Beacon, the cityâs radio and observation tower, into quirky antique shops and busy pubs. Liverpoolâs very own artists highlight the cityâs personality so uniquely, that it will inspire visits to all its secret corners.
