5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent insight into the changing faces of Manchester, 1 Aug 2001
This book is a fantastic read, particulary the sections written by Sarah Parker. Sarah offers a diverse but direct opionion of the architecture and is not frightened of adding negative comments where necessary. If you are a virgin to Machester's architecture this book is a must. Travellers seem to perceive Manchester as a centre of street crime and a breach in the dyke, as the book shows, Manchester offers days of exploration to the keen architectural explorer and fanatic of all things good. Well done Sarah, please write more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Manchester under a new light!, 23 Nov 2000
By A Customer
A great insight into Manchester's architecture through words and pictures. One wouldn't think that the city had so much to offer! This book presents simply and unpretentiously the main sights, both traditional architecture and the hip new interiors of Canal Street and the ever trendier social scene. Well worth a read!
