Nine out of ten How-To books are a bore. This is the one out of ten. It's easy to read, with original ideas and useful advice for wannabe tycoons * Jeff Randall, Sky News presenter and Daily Telegraph columnist *
Independent, unorthodox, even bloody-minded - Johnson can be all of these and it's what makes him worth reading * Peter Bazalgette, Chairman, Endemol UK *
Luke Johnson knows a lot about an amazing range of business subjects and has thoughtful views about the controversial ones * Investors Chronicle *
