Interesting Autobiography, but not focused enough 17 Aug 2009

By Mr. Stephen Hall

Format:Hardcover

Surprisingly, not really written as a business reference book. More of an autobiography, which is interesting in its own right, but not what I was expecting. I am still a fan of Dragon's Den, and this seems to be one of the better of their books, but not a reference book, more a "get up and do it" encouragement book. Perhaps also useful for small business owners, to understand the objective, and how to make more money, if that is what you want to do.

The best of the batch 17 Jun 2009

By Booksmith

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

I've read all the books that the Dragons have produced to date. They all have something to offer but this is by far the best of them all. Very readable style with lots of good practical advice. Recommended!
