IF YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW THE HISTORY OF THE EARLY BEATLES: THEN THINK AGAIN! LIVERPUDLIAN PENS A DEFINITIVE NEW BOOK TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT

Liverpudlian and Beatles Historian David Bedford has penned an entertaining and informative new book on the Beatles that will not only give readers a glimpse of the real Liverpool, but hopes to separate fact from fiction.

"To understand The Beatles, you have to understand Liverpool," says Bedford, who spent nearly a decade compiling Liddypool: Birthplace of the Beatles (Dalton Watson Fine Books, Ltd).

Former Beatles drummer Pete Best, who wrote the foreword to Liddypool, certainly believes Liddypool is the definitive book on his hometown."Having been a Beatle for two years and not professing to be a Beatle historian, to me this book is totally enlightening."

What the experts say about Liddypool: Birthplace of The Beatles

"The best illustrated book on the Beatles' Liverpool I have seen"
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.
There can be no doubt that Liverpool forged the early career of the Beatles and 'Liddypool' creates a vivid picture of the life and times of that exciting period.
Bill Harry, Founder of Mersey Beat.

"At last Liverpool has the Beatles book it deserves. "Liddypool" has been lovingly assembled, diligently researched and lavishly illustrated. Casual browser and avid fan alike will discover something they didn't already know about the world's most documented quartet. I'd pay the cover price for the pictures alone."
Steve Turner, author of "A Hard Day's Write"

"It's great to see a book from an author who is trying to sieve his way through all the various myths, legends and half-truths and paint a realistic picture of what really happened.
Rod Davis, The Quarrymen

"The depth of David Bedford's research is unprecedented. This is a fascinating, valuable and devoted piece of detective work which will appeal to any fan of the Beatles."
Janine Ross, Marketing Manager, The Beatles Story Ltd.


"David has always been a stickler for detail and passionate for facts. If I needed to know some obscure piece of information relating to The Beatles or Liverpool I knew I could rely on him to provide the answer. With the publication of this book, all the information I could require is now handily available within these pages!"
Pete Nash, Editor: British Beatles Fan Club

It's a pleasure to help writers like you, David, and others in your quest for a more honest picture - and I wish you every success.
Best wishes"
