Manchester, the Complete Guide to the City is the most authoritative guide to the city for visitors or residents. It looks at Manchester's past, present and future, it describes the main monuments, museums and galleries whilst also giving the lowdown on where to stay, eat, drink, dance, watch sport or shop. There are four walking itineraries around the city and recommendations for where to take excursions. Biographies of key citizens and episodes in Manchester's lively history are revealed. The editor and principal writer of this book is Jonathan Schofield, a well-known Manchester guide, writer and broadcaster. This is the first in the My Guide to series of books about UK cities.
As a Manchester resident, I wanted a book to help me do a bit of exploring. A great book. Broad range of info - enough to get you going and show you the best bits while leaving you to explore the rest yourself. Really helpful. Clear pictures. Map included. Interesting, lesser known facts.
