Are you in our Didsbury pubs book?

Now, that is not such an outlandish question, because in the course of producing the book which tells the stories of 49 Didsbury pubs and bars, Peter photographed a lot of people who were enjoying a pint, a meal or just a chat with friends.

 And some of them have come back to us to say that they would like to buy the book on the strength of appearing in it.

 One chap’s son bought him the book and having read it cover to cover bought six more because he and a friend were in the Fletcher Moss story.

Nor is this peculiar to the Didsbury book, because while researching our first book on the iconic 78 city centre pubs we encountered a group out on their own beer survey.

All five were CAMRA members and two were from Scotland.  They consented to be in the book, and a few months later came up to us at CAMRA’s beer and cider festival in  Manchester Central and bought the book, because not only were they in it, but they had enjoyed looking at a copy a friend had just purchased.

Not to be out done, the following year, back in Manchester Central at yet another CAMRA beer and cider festival, we met up again, only to have our two Scottish friends recommend the book to the group they were with.

All of which takes me back to the Didsbury pubs book, which came out in the summer, already has had an official launch at Didsbury Beer Festival, where yet again, someone bought the book on the strength of their presence in the publication.

So if you are curious as to whether you are in it, or just want a good read about Didsbury's pubs and past, along with acquiring some of Peter's fine paintings,  you can  buy the book from us at www.pubbooks.co.uk
