The Little Book of Liverpool is a funny, fast-paced, fact-packed
compendium of the sort of frivolous, fantastic, or simply strange
information which no one will want to be without. Here we find out about
the most unusual crimes and punishments, eccentric inhabitants, famous
sons and daughters, and literally hundreds of wacky facts. Alex
Tulloch's new book gathers together a myriad of data on this historic
city. There are lots of factual chapters but also plenty of frivolous
details which will amuse and surprise. A reference book and a quirky
guide, this can be dipped in to time and time again to reveal something
you never knew. For instance, did you know that the clock on the Liver
Buildings was started at the precise moment that King George V was
crowned on 22 June 1911? Thought not. A remarkably engaging little book,
this is essential reading for visitors and locals alike.
