Very good, original idea.
Could be broadened so as to include Morrissey's UK(Leeds, Dublin, Dundee, Picadilly Square etc).
Hope it has lots of photos.

What a great idea! Did those kids on the photograph finish the photoshoot by mugging the photographer and getting their dads onto him/her?

Aaah, modern day Manchester... don't you just love it??? x

Hmm, one could only hope for lovely pictures of the central library. Much, much more intresting then say......well, nevermind, nevermind.

Wow, sounds like a really good idea! Can't wait til it comes out! How much will it cost?

is this the same phill from the chat who has been outed as a pervert? thought it was! well done philly boy! cash in with a book when a simple one page map would suffice!

those who know him WELL, know what i'm talking about.

as those with their ear to the ground in the chatroom are fully aware, phill has low morals. phill, who is in his late 30s, came onto a young girl from the chatroom who was visiting manchester...he made friends with her, said she could stay at his house for a night, then tried to bed her. nice man!

this is 100% truth, and although i'm fully aware this will be ignored, i just feel it's a bit pathetic to turn a blind eye and go and buy his book when he's a horrible man who doesn't deserve your hard earned cash.

on a sidenote, the book reaks of cash-in...and the guide to manchester entertainment screams 'FILLER!' as he knows full well that were the book to include only morrissey and smiths related locations, it would fill a single page. maybe a double-sided page, but still not very sellable. however, padding it with crap makes it worth at least 7 pounds or something. my guess is that he'll charge 10 pounds. he knows suckers will buy anything.

to end, i applaud your ingenuity in selling something which should really be free, but ultimately you are a sad, divorced pervert who sleeps with couples and tells everyone who will listen about your sexual conquests.

and the front cover is absolute bollocks.

I have been working on a publication about Morrissey's California. Here's a sample picture:

while i guess it's ok that a book on Moz/SMITHS sites is being produced, i wooould think REAL fans would not need it and instead research it themselves. not give into capitalizing on the names of THE SMITHS or MORRISSEY. i'm sure Morrissey would not approve of other people making money off his name without him getting a cut??? anyways, i just came back from England a few weeks ago, it was awesome, i saw some Morrissey/SMITHS sites in both Manchester and London, it was great. it was worth the money, long walks, cold, and hunger (as i am a strict veggie), that i had to endure. TOTALLY!!!

The kids on the cover look like they're nine at the most! Okay, whatever...

I don't think I need a book to tell me where Morrissey's old hiding places were. In fact, that information has already been given in many interviews, other books, and articles. So, who needs a "guide"? Good luck with the book, though, I guess.

i forgot where i read this... but, didn't the salford lads club have a date to meet with a wrecking ball due to the state of disrepair the building was in? to stop this from happening, i think, the owners were trying to get the building recognized as a historical landmark or something. does anyone know the status? anyway... it would be a shame if this book points out the location of where the club use to be.

Umm, I'm a bit embarrassed that most of my online guide to Smiths/Moz sites in Manchester, London, Los Angeles, and Paris remains to be updated, but I do it for free. Anyroad, enjoy --

...a bit odd that one of the kids has got a Manchester CITY football shirt, when Morrisseys favourite team is Manchester United. They are big rivals and I'm sure Morrissey wouldn't like it! :)

I'd just like to say UI think this is a Grand idea. Especially being that's I'm Poor American Recluse who can barely afford to leave the house I think this book will sort of bring a touch of the Smiths and Morrissey past alive to me in my own way! Good Luck and great idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!
