ISBN10: 0300102585, ISBN13: 9780300102581, [publisher: Yale University Press, New Haven] Softcover Paperback. This comprehensive, full-color guidebook describes all the architecturally significant buildings in Liverpool, the city selected as European Capital of Culture for 2008. The book includes suburban areas of interest and excursions to notable sites farther out. Major buildings-such as the Town Hall, St George's Hall, and the two Cathedrals-receive extended treatment; the streets of the business district are dealt with alphabetically; and the rest of the city-including the docks-is covered in a series of carefully planned walks.Based on Nikolaus Pevsner's original text for the Buildings of England, the book is augmented by close study of Liverpool's buildings themselves and by extensive new research. It is an authoritative work of reference as well as a practical handbook for visitors and residents walking in the city. From the eighteenth to the early twentieth century Liverpool was one of the most prosperous towns in Britain, and one of the greatest ports in the world; for many of its citizens it was also a place of extreme poverty. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
