===Summary===<br />
<br />
''Jakestown: My Liverpool'' is not a novel, but self-described as "a definitive collection of the Liverpool monologues, songs, verses, jokes, and stories of Brian Jacques". It includes selections from ''Yennoworrameanlike'', ''Get Yer Wack'', and ''The Mersey Bible'', as well as new material. <br />
<br />
===Back Cover Text===<br />
<br />
The text on the back cover is a quote from Reg Brookes, a producer at BBC Merseyside. The full version of this quote is actually on the back of ''[[Scouse with the Lid Off]]'':<br />
<br />
''"Brian Jacques is imaginative, an observer of our foibles and frailties, and a vernacular genius. He's earthy - but so was [[Wikipedia:Geoffrey Chaucer|Chaucer]]. And if earthy means, as it ought to mean, a realisation of the source of nourishment, then Brian Jacques draws deep from his roots to remind us that the essential Liverpudlian - male and female - is matey, irreverent, has a distinctive way with words, and is that curious mixture of the tender sentimentalist and the hard-case."''<br />
