The Other Side of the Clyde

Is this the book of the cultural city of the year? How will it go down and who with? It describes itself as a collection of the voices of Glasgow, including poems by Douglas Dunn, Edwin Morgan, Liz Lochhead and stories of very varying lengths and subjects, Alasdair Gray among the writers. (Showing my ignorance: which of the others are known/unknown?) Different bits will appeal to very different readers: gritty short story; compressed, allusive poem... If you can interest them in bits they like, will they also sample the unfamiliar territory? The writers in some sense represent Glasgow but I can't see that having much significance to the readers. Unless they're Glaswegian. There's some splendid writing but I think you'll have to try hard to sell it.
