Product Description

'Discover Liverpool' is an invitation to revel in the magic of one of England's greatest cities, courtesy of a beautifully crafted A4 hardback book and accompanying DVD. This is not an academic tome, but rather a labour of love by author and city expert KEN PYE. It will prove an inspiration to the many thousands of people expected to help the city celebrate its 800th birthday this year. A tidal wave of visitors will follow in 2008 when Liverpool basks in the title of European Capital of Culture. The eyes of the world will be on the famous port during this spell and Discover Liverpool will inspire readers to take one or all of the eight detailed tours that will guide them into the heart of the city to reveal the characters, buildings, myths, ghost stories and legends that make Liverpool unique. The DVD backs all this up with a magical preview of iconic attractions like the waterfront a world heritage site as Ken Pye s complete city history unfolds. The DVD is produced by Colin McKeown and his highly respected city-based LA Productions. With a proven track record in high quality television and film production, LA Productions produces work of outstanding quality in whichever genre and format they work in. McKeown is a well established producer in his own right, responsible for amongst other things establishing 'Brookside', producing 'Liverpool One', 'Nice Guy Eddie' and the award- winning feature film 'Liam'. Discover Liverpool will be welcomed by Liverpudlians themselves and is everything a visitor will need to enjoy a visit to Merseyside.

5.0 out of 5 stars Discover Liverpool, 1 April 2007

By	Early Bird - See all my reviews

There are lots of books on this remarkable City, but this is by far and away the best that I have seen in some years.
It is well written, and in an entertaining and clear style. As well as giving a readable and detailed history of the city, it gives so much information about the people, places, and buildings too. It is a combination of history book and tour book, because it is written as 8 separate, themed tours. But, if you don't want to use it this way, it just makes a great read. I found it easy to dip into, but friends of mine have read it like a novel!
As well as that, it comes with a DVD, which is made up of 8 short documentaries, which match the tours, but which bring the book and the city to life.
All-in-all, this is brilliant! And great value for money.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Liverpool Soul, 20 Feb 2009

By	David A. Rowlands (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this as a present for my mother who was born in Liverpool. It has given her hours of pleasure and she claims it is the best present she has ever received. A must for the Liverpool migrant who wants to retrace their roots from their Liverpool home.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book on Liverpool, 21 Nov 2009

By	Antipodean (New Zealand) - See all my reviews

One of the best books on my old hometown - I thought I knew Liverpool well but there is/was so much I didn't know until I read this book and watched the DVD that comes with it. Can recommend to anyone with a love of Liverpool or who wants to know more about this great city
