IF YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW THE HISTORY OF THE EARLY BEATLES - THINK AGAIN!
"The best illustrated book on the Beatles' Liverpool I've read" Hunter Davies, Official Beatles Biographer
"I am proud that David
Bedford’s magnificent tour de force of a book was inspired by
one of my own works
and also that its very title comes from a phrase John Lennon used in
Mersey Beat."
Bill Harry, friend of John Lennon, founder of "Mersey Beat"
“Having been a Beatle
for two years and not professing to be a Beatle historian, to me this
book is totally enlightening.”
Former Beatles drummer Pete Best

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT "LIDDYPOOL"
The Foreword has been written by Beatles' drummer PETE BEST. This is what he says:
“Without going into too much detail because that would spoil it for when you read the book, I found it to be different in layout, ideas and topics, and, before I forget, here was an author that wasn’t afraid to express his own views and theories and blow some fresh air into early Beatles history,” Best said.

"'Liddypool' by
David Bedford is by far the best Beatles/Liverpool book it's ever been
my pleasure to read. David's remarkable research has truly been worth
the effort, and I fully recommend this book to any Beatles fan wishing
to learn more about their favourite pop group and their origins . 10/10"
