Història de butxaca de Catalunya és un llibre que recorre de manera rigorosa i amena la història del nostre país, amb un centenar de capítols breus sobre els fets històrics que ens han fet com som, des de la prehistòria fins al referèndum de l'1 d'octubre de 2017.
A més, la majoria de temes s'il·lustren amb imatges d'obres d'art i llocs visitables actualment per a qui vulgui viure la història en primera persona.
Cal tenir en compte que els temes es presenten cronològicament però alhora són independents, de manera que el lector és lliure de llegir-los un darrere l'altre o navegar pels temps saltant dels àrabs del segle viii als almogàvers del xiv, passant pel turisme dels nostres temps o la Guerra de Successió.
Història de butxaca de Catalunya, un llibre pensat per als catalans amb curiositat per la història del nostre país, però també per als visitants que vulguin conèixer els fets que ens han forjat com a poble.
