The official guide to Liverpool's year as European Capital of Culture 2008 is now on sale.
The 202-page publication, which charts the city's year-long programme, is available for £5 at Liverpool's tourist information centres as well as Marks and Spencer's outlets across the North West of England. It will also be stocked at St George's Heritage Centre and the official Liverpool FC store in Liverpool city centre.
More than 350 events including many World, European and UK premieres are highlighted in the guide, complete with listings information, maps and a detailed five-page calendar.

Councillor Warren Bradley, Leader of Liverpool City Council and Deputy Chairman of Liverpool Culture Company, said: ''Liverpool's year as the UK's European Capital of Culture is of a scale that has never been attempted before. To see it all in one publication makes for a terrific read and should fill everyone involved with pride.''

Phil Redmond, Creative Director and Deputy Chairman of Liverpool Culture Company, said: ''This guide is the perfect way for people to navigate 2008 and is a great memento of what will be a momentous year. It also illustrates the ambition of Liverpool's cultural offer - including what the city already does on annual basis. As its says at the start, Liverpool '08 will be a year like no other.''
