from Phil Morris


I think they’re excellent. The pocket size makes them stand out; the design, particularly the illustrations, work well across the different volumes and give them a look of real quality.

I liked the variety of subject matter and writing styles. I was particularly pleased that the book avoided the Cilla Black style ‘haven’t we got a great sense of humour’ type anecdotes. It allowed the unexpected beauty of the city to shine through and showcased the diverse appeal of the city – which is real culture!

As a fledgling writer it was a proud moment to see something in print for the first time. And now I want more.
