Leeds Books - Leeds City Guide - The Essential Guide to Bars, Pubs, Clubs, Hotels and Restaurants in Leeds.

FOR this second edition of their acclaimed history of Leeds, Steven Burt and Kevin Grady have extensively revised their account of the 20th-century development of the city, in particular the dramatic changes that took place in the post-war years. The book provides a readable, authoritative account of the history of the city that will appeal to residents and visitors alike and will serve as an invaluable source of reference. Much new research has been included. The authors describe the growth of Leeds from a medieval village to the prosperous and dynamic modern city. They explain how it became an immensely successful cloth marketing town in the 17th and 18th centuries, then went on to become one of the greatest and most diverse of England's Victorian cities. They complete the story with a description of the rapid social and cultural changes that created the prosperous commercial capital that is Leeds today. The book is profusely illustrated with maps and plans and includes many previously unpublished photographs.

The Leeds United Story

Formed in 1919 from the ashes of Leeds City, Leeds United have a proud history, although they had to wait until the dawn of the Don Revie era in the 1960s before they began to achieve major honours � League Championship, FA Cup, League Cup and Fairs Cup, as well as a place in the European Cup Final. A spell in the old Second Division followed before Howard Wilkinson restored the club to the top flight and in 1992 guided them to another League Championship. That year The Leeds United Story was first published by Breedon. The authorititave text was warmly received by United supporters and became a sell-out. Ten years on, the authors have revised and updated their book as United look towards the 2002�03 season with an exciting young team and high hopes of Premiership glory. The result will prove compelling reading for Leeds fans of all ages.
