  Echoes Of Liverpool tells the complete history of Liverpool in a unique way, using the medium of newspaper headlines and pictures to paint the story in a format that everyone can relate to. Whether it was the murder of Merseyside icon John Lennon, sensationally shot to death outside his New York apartment; pages encapsulating the end of World Wars; headlines revealing the sinking of the Liverpool-registered Titanic; or stories about the dramatically changing face of the city; they are all covered. This book will help Liverpool celebrate its 800th birthday in 2007 as well as focusing thoughts on the exciting 2008 European Capital of Culture celebrations. Echoes of Liverpool will captivate readers and provide an unexpected twist as it travels backwards and then forwards in time, like a newspaper Tardis . The book will hurtle into medieval Liverpool to report, in modern newspaper fashion, topics like the English Civil War, before soaring forwards 50 and 100 years from now to predict the future for this world famous port. The book majors on the unmatchable library archive of the Liverpool Daily Post & Echo . It is no ordinary history book, but rather a remarkable celebration of all things Liverpool.
