It is day five of that outrageous bout of self promotion for Christmas and what better stocking filler than the book that tells the stories of our most iconic Manchester Pubs.
Less a guide and more a detailed set of tales featuring the people who lived, worked and drank in those 78 historic boozers from the Northern Quarter down to the Universities.
They are grouped together in easy to do walks and so along with those stories there are descriptions of the areas where the pubs are situated, allowing the causal tourist to put the pubs into a context and making it easier to understand why one was named after a potato and another was renamed.
Added to all this there are the paintings by Peter with each pub getting its own painting.
And so with a planned publication date of just before Christmas at least one present will have been sorted.
We are just waiting for the book to be delivered from the printers and are taking pre-orders now at www.pubbooks.co.uk
Manchester Pubs The Stories behind the doors, Peter Topping and Andrew Simpson
