About Mancubist
Put simply, Mancubist is a blog about Manchester.
Like anyone, I stumble across information about the city - via people, newspapers, books, websites, blogs, comments, emails, flyers, even council notices. It seems a shame to waste what I’ve discovered, so I post a digest of it here.
