“Liddypool: Birthplace of The Beatles”
Beatles Historian David Bedford has penned an entertaining and informative new book on the Beatles and Liverpool, 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.
FOREWORD BY PETE BEST
Former Beatles drummer Pete Best certainly believes Liddypool is the definitive book on his hometown.
“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.
“Having been a Beatle for two years and not professing to be a Beatle historian, to me this book is totally enlightening.” Pete Best, former Beatles drummer

“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
