Once Upon a Time at the Adelphi

by Phil Willmott

Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £6.49
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Liverpool's Adelphi Hotel was once a haunt of the great and the glamourous. 1930s Hollywood stars, cowboy Roy Rogers and tango supremo Carlos Gardel mingled with Russian acrobats, American GIs, aristocratic guests and hotel employees.

Interweaving this glittering past and the present, we follow the love story of four young staff members - Nick and Jo in the present, Young Alice and Thompson in the past - brought to life by the vibrant and poignant reminiscences of Older Alice.
