A collection of beautiful love stories from bestselling artist Edward Monkton. A LOVELY LOVE STORY: The first book published by Edward Monkton, this is a beautiful story about two lovely dinosaurs with a message as old as time itself: that being together is better than being apart. LOVE: Every day is a day for lovers, but if there is one day of the year when this is doubly so, it must be Valentine's Day.

This book is a collection of Monkton's most successful Valentine's Day. What better way to tell someone you love them? I LOVE YOU: Edward Monkton's profound, funny and sometimes surreal musings on love and relationships. Wonderfully packaged with the utmost style and attention to detail, this boxset brings together three of Monkton's most cherished books for the first time.

Uncontrollable, anarchic, separate and alienated from mainstream England, the Liverpool of popular imagination is a hotbed of radicalism and creativity. But is that reputation really justified? Starting in 1911, a year which saw a warship on the Mersey suppressing near revolution in the Liverpool Transport Strike, the remarkable exhibition of paintings by Picasso, Matisse, Cezanne and the European avant-garde alongside works by local artists at the Bluecoat, and the opening of The Liver Building, the first major building in the UK to use reinforced concrete in its construction and crowned by two liver birds that came to symbolise the city's resilience, this fascinating book looks at one hundred years of radicals and radicalism in Liverpool. Ranging widely across a century of politics, music, football, theatre, architecture and art, "Liverpool: City of Radicals" concludes with a look at the contemporary city and asks what role radicalism can play in the future of Liverpool.
