A Liverpool Companion by Herb Lester (English) Folded Book

Description: A Liverpool Companion by Herb Lester Small and tightly focused. Herb Lester´s guides are concise city tours in a handy fold-out format that slips neatly into an intrepid traveller´s pocket. FORMAT Folded LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Liverpool has had its share of good times and bad; today its fortunes are again on the rise, with a new generation of independent shops and businesses bringing fresh energy to the city. This guide selects the bet of Liverpool today - while keeping an eye on its remarkable history, taking in Georgian streets, Victorian pubs and even a sighting of the Fab Four. Small and tightly focused, our guides are concise city tours in a handy fold-out format that slips neatly into an intrepid travelers pocket. Our aim is to introduce readers to new places as well as re-evaluating familiar ones, and we are as keen to find a new way to see the Louvre as we are to discover an untouched 1950s cafe. Informed by on-the-ground research, our one-sheet guides and maps uncover what makes a city special. They are written and researched in-house, and an illustrator who has been specially chosen for the subject designs each one. Whether its an excursion into the greener areas of London (more numerous than you might think), Pariss beatnik bookshops, the otherworldly landscape just outside Reykjavik, or the watering holes of Brooklyn, we highlight what makes a place distinctive with our specialist knowledge and illustrations with vintage charm. In A6 format, the guides fit easily into a pocket and then expand out to A3 or A2 to display the attractions of each city. Each fine-quality sheet is litho-printed in England on 100% recycled stock. Author Biography Most guides try to tell you everything there is to know about a city, we just tell you how to enjoy it. It is our aim to show the reader what makes a place distinctive, to shed light on obscure locations as well as revisiting well-known ones with a fresh perspective. We research each city the old-fashioned way: asking friends, acquaintances, cab drivers and concierges for their tips and then walking, tasting, sipping, and peering into doorways and down alleys. We turn that research into a compact guide with enough suggestions to keep you entertained, with a list of shops, bars, restaurants, cafes, galleries, museums and parks, each one carefully described. Review "These magnificently designed fold-out maps provide unique and whimsical ways to explore dozens of locations around the world." -- The New York Times Long Description Great character comes from bad times as well as good, and Liverpool is a city thats had plenty of both. Now, from the Georgian Quarter to the Baltic Triangle where dock cranes have been replaced by those of developers new businesses are sprouting alongside established ones. The signs of past tribulations are still plain to see, but lets call that patina. Liverpool is a city on the ascendant, and in this guide we present a careful selection of 39 entries, encompassing cultural diversions, book and record shops, wonderful food, and a generous selection of pubs.
