Manchester

Clearly a great deal of planning, design and care has gone into the presentation of this volume: the cover has the strap-line, ‘A Voice from Ancoats’, the title page notes ‘Introductory Remarks by David Lawton, Thomas Booth, Thomas Middleton’, cover and page both beautifully presented, with the text bordered by flower patterns (two bright red Lancashire roses frame the title-page), while the back cover is blind stamped with an ornate ‘DC’ framed in a curtained window or stage with open curtains.
