Summary
Forget everything you’ve heard about Manchester - Madchester, Gunchester - and read what it was like to live there at the turn of the century from those that know it best.

What They're Saying
Critics Review
One of I Love MCR’s ‘Manchester books you need to read before you die’
‘Witty and wise… Mancunians is everything a book about Mancunians should be.’
Daniel Harris, The Guardian
‘Here is someone who is fiercely “Mancunian”, with an understanding of the city’s recent past, but not bogged down by the baggage and beholden to it… Highly recommended.’
Iain Key, Louder Than War
‘A panoramic view of Manchester’s changing sociological and cultural skyline.’
Desmond Bullen, Northern Soul
‘A great read from one of Manchester’s finest wordsmiths.’
Clint Boon
‘An honest love letter to the city.’
Christine Bottomley
‘A touching and brilliant balance of the personal and the popular, from a time when there was so much change in the city.’
Mr Scruff
