Dear Nostalgic

Over the years our most popular books have been "Memories of Birmingham" and "Birmingham Remembered" so we felt it was about time that we produced another general view of the city. No particular theme, other than a proud over-the-shoulder look at the way things were: the bustling, atmospheric Bull Ring; Lewis's - where almost anything could be bought; trams, trolleybuses; maybe even a younger version of YOU?

Once again, magnifying glasses out, taste buds at the ready, turn the page back to yesterday and prepare to savour our city as it was.

Yours, in friendship
