'''''Get Yer Wack: A Liverpool Anthology''''' is the first known published work of [[Brian Jacques]], credited to "J B Jaques". It was originally published by [[Anvil Press]] in [[1971]] (ISBN B0007BLCU4), and later re-released by [[Raven Books]] in December [[1973]] as ''Get Yer Wack: An Anthology of Liverpool Humour''.

<br />
===Summary===<br />
''Get Yer Wack'' is a collection of Liverpudlian short stories, monologues, poems, and humorous songs. The original recommended price was £0.40p, or roughly $0.75. Initially, 28,000 copies were sold.<br />
<br />
The book is divided into five different chapters.<br />
<br />
Several selections from Chapter 3, "Adam an' Eve", "Let my People Go", "Caynanable", "Sampson and Delicious", and "The First Rebel" would later make their way into ''[[According to Jacques]]''.<br />
<br />
The selection "The Marmalade Tom" appears as a monologue on [[The Liverpool Fishermen]]'s album, ''[[Swallow the Anchor]].''<br />
<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*Watch Brian Jacques briefly discuss ''Get Yer Wack'' on his [[2008]] U.S. tour [https://youtu.be/dxwcYSzKunY?si=2zrFW3_HMorIQeJI&t=286 here].<br />
*According to Brian Jacques, "get yer wack" is a Liverpool colloquialism that means "make sure you get your share" or "make sure you get all that's due to you."<br />
*"Wack" was Scouse dialect for a working class native of Liverpool. Another perhaps more famous instance of this word is in the song "Dear Wack!", by 1960s Liverpool pop group, The Beatles.<br />
