Default Pearson's of Liverpool Book

PM03 After The War Was Over – The Pearson’s Of Liverpool Story

Quite some considerable time ago, we announced a forthcoming and extremely fascinating book on the Canadian and American military vehicles that were assemble in Liverpool during World War II , unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control this company lost the premises it operated from and had its entire staff affected by Carbon Monoxide Poisoning, as the landlords had installed a defective gas space heating system.

I am however delighted to say that, after all this time this beautifully illustrated book book is now going to print and will be available in December as a 148-page hardback book.

It contains 214 hitherto classified photographs of outstanding quality (taken from 12’’ x 10” glass negatives) to present a view of the 'secret' goings-on around Wavertree and Edge Hill. Here, in bombed-out factories and on waste ground around Smithdown Lane, Overbury Street, Crown Street, Queensland Road and Falkner Street, a vast fleet of military vehicles were erected in great secrecy.

The 148-page hard-back book will be produced entirely in black and white, with a sepia tone dust jacket, and is in an A4 landscape format.

The first 250 mail order customers will have their names printed in a subscriber's list at the book, making this a very valuable personal memento. It will only have a limited print run edition of 1,500 UK copies, each of which will be individually numbered and signed by the authors. A further 100 de-luxe hand-crafted and leather bound copies will be available at a cost of £99.50, and these will also be signed by the authors, numbered and posted to UK addresses by Special Delivery secure mail at no extra cost.
