Book Description
Before the author started building a model of Liverpool Cathedral in 1994 he had to research its history and architecture. Of all the published information one book stands out as by far the most useful. It is Vere E. Cotton's work The Book of Liverpool Cathedral, published by Liverpool University Press in 1964 on behalf of the Cathedral Committee, but at the time the book was written construction of the Nave had only just begun and needed supplementing with photographs. Because the project made the author look at the Cathedral from a viewpoint other than at its architecture he discovered the secret purpose of, and the motivation behind, the radical redesign of 1910. In his book Cotton virtually admits that he was mystified at some aspects of the building. Strangely, it also contained the clues which helped the author resolve the mystery although Cotton seemed not to have been aware of them. So this work is the sequel to The Book of Liverpool Cathedral, as it reveals the architect's secret and explains how and why the present design evolved, which Cotton was unable to do.

Book Description
The building of a card model of Liverpool Cathedral needed a lot of research, and the Vere E. Cotton's work The Book of Liverpool Cathedral was the most helpful of all the sourcees of information. Written by a long-serving member of the Cathedral Building Committee it was a treasure trove of early photographs and drawings. The reason for the drastic alteration of the building from the competition-winning three tower building to one with a single tower in 1910 was never explained by the architect, and for 84 years people have looked at the architecture trying to solve the mystery without success. Because the project made the author look at the cathedral from a viewpoint other than at its architecture, which nobody appears to have done before, he discovered the secret purpose of, and the motivation behind, the radical redesign of 1910. In his book, Cotton virtually admits that he was mystified at some aspects of the building. Strangely, it also contains the clues which helped resolve the mystery. So this work is the sequel to The Book of Liverpool Cathedral as it exposes the architect's secret and explains how and why the present design evolved.

Book Description
The Secret History of Oxford offers the reader an off-the-beaten-track tour of the city’s landmarks and streets. Filled with hundreds of facts and anecdotes, it reveals the amusing, unlikely and downright wonderful stories hidden beneath the surface. Some, such as the fact that the founder of Oxford was eaten by wolves, will be known; many others, such as the fact that Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, stole a piece of New College’s unicorn horn, that one of the Fellows of Christ Church was a bear or that Oxford Castle has England’s most frequently sighted ghost, are much less widely known – and some of these stories have not appeared in print for hundreds of years. With rare photographs and intriguing information on the people, eras and events that defined the city’s history, this book lets the flying cats out of the bags, rattles the dragons’ cages and reveals all the skeletons in the city’s cupboards.
