They can be written on with suitable marker pens without any damage to the map but, unless laminated on both sides, they are not damp-proof.- ENCAPSULATED wall maps are sealed between two sheets of plastic. They are more rigid & heavier than laminated maps of the same size. They are damp-proof & do not crinkle in humid conditions. Encapsulation gives the map a shiny surface, similar to being displayed behind glass.- PLEASE NOTE: many publishers & retailers often use these two terms interchangeably. Our map titles & descriptions follow the definitions provided above.

The definitive account of the pop cult capital of the UK by Dave Haslam, one of Manchester`s top DJs & journalists. Manchester, a predominantly working-class city, away from the nation`s capital, has been at the margins of English culture for centuries. The explosion of music & creativity in Manchester can be traced back from Victorian music hall & the jazz age, to Northern Soul & rock & roll, through to acid house & Oasis. But its roots are in Manchester`s history as a melting pot of popular idealism & dissent, from the industrial revolution on, via film, theatre, comedy & TV. & for Manchester, read England & the world. Dave Haslam is uniquely placed to tell this story
- Manchester, England is as witty, erudite & passionate as you would expect from a man who can say, again & again, ”I was there”. Like Jon Savage`s England`s Dreaming, this is the last word on the abiding centre of 40 years of UK pop culture.
