"John Williams writes in the language of Liverpool, a Scouse scribe who brings to life the people and places, inner thoughts and outer images, the vigour and vitality and essentially, the iron humour of a unique city."

"This is a wonderful collection of writings by J. Williams. While it isn't specifically about the Beatles, they are clearly a part of the story, along with the very fiber and fabric of the city that influenced him and them as well. The pieces are short, well written and filled with a delicious sense of humor that shines in the titles as well as the essays."
Jan Perry, Cincinnati Post |
"The melting pot that is Liverpool has created the Beatles, great football teams and legendary comedians. But there is more … so much more. Our unique culture has also forged many unforgettable characters and yarns that Damon Runyon would have loved to put into print. After reading this book you’ll know what I mean."
