Product Description
In this hilarious book of cartoons Williams ruminates on what’s become of the bankers who no longer find themselves in the positions they once enjoyed. It’s a world where learning about derivatives means meeting the children, so long ignored, a ‘non-dom’ means being kicked out by the trophy wife, and ‘going long on shorts’ now involves a bar and some small glasses. In 101 Uses for a Banker, Williams has a whale of a time coming up with unlikely scenarios for crunch-struck bankers that can be enjoyed by everyone. Alex Steuart Williams is a former barrister turned cartoonist and feature film animator, whose movie credits include Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, The Lion King and Robots.

This is a very witty book full of funny cartoons which will make you laugh out loud, especially topical in these credit crunch times. Clever observations that will be appreciated by both sexes and all ages. It is the perfect size for the stockings of your loved ones. Highly recommended.

Very funny and extremely satisfying. Williams hits the nail on the head - or the banker as it where.

A very funny and very timely collection of cartoons delightfully skewering (etc) the investment bankers who got us into the financial mess we're in. It's a bit like '101 Uses for a Dead Cat' - only with bankers - and much funnier.

Fun, but not at good as the original 100 dead cats
I picked up this book for a bit of fun at Christmas. The timing was good with the credit crunch and feeling against the city. Read more
