Product Description
"Just look around you. There are people getting away with it all the time! How exactly does your best mate get away with having international headquarters in Monaco, Cape Town and Acapulco when you know for a fact that he lives in a two-bedder in Otley? And what about her? The one who's dumped fifteen lovers in the last six months and yet they all still adore her and shower her with exotic gifts! Some people have the inside track on everything. They look ten years younger than they are, they wangle cheap flights all over the world and still get upgraded, they talk their way out of parking tickets and get glamorous jobs they're not really up to. Well, now it's your turn. We've collected the best-kept secrets for you in "Getting Away With It." From now on it's you on the catwalk baby." Steve Shipside.
