Sinossi
The Mersey Minis series brings together eight centuries of writing about Liverpool and the Mersey in delicious pocket-sized editions. Landing, Living, Longing, Loving and Leaving include the thoughts and reactions of residents, visitors and travelers, from 1207 to the present. From King John to Jack Kerouac, John Lennon to William Wordsworth; from politicians and pop stars to sailors, servants, scientists and spies, Mersey Minis voices are passionate, poignant, raw, funny and occasionally shocking. As Liverpool celebrates its 800 birthday in 2007, and European Capital of Culture in 2008, these are the perfect affirmation of the pride, passion, experiences and lasting influence of one of the great cities of the world.

Recensione
Beautifully produced and fascinating books --Loyd Grossman
Thanks for Mersey Minis. They are a valuable contribution to the body of Liverpool literature and I shall be thumbing through them for a long time to come. I loved them - lovely design, made very special by the illustrations. Price seemed accessibly right. You put a tremendous amount of work into sourcing a good variety of texts. --John Davies
Mersey Minis presents Liverpool in miniature. A wonderful composite of the city - lovely to hold, and a delight to read. --Margaret Murphy, crime novelist
