The Real Deal by Richard Desmond
En route he tells of his early life as a rock and roll drummer, his first steps in the world of magazine publishing as a purveyor of leisure and top-shelf titles, and finally, after decades of paying his dues building smaller brands, his arrival in the big league with the launch of OK!
"A ripping yarn, fluently and wittily told" -- Lynn Barber * Sunday Times *
"[A] wildly entertaining account of a life lived in the fast lane, one which he freely admits has attracted its own share of controversy, and yet is far more shaded than most people realise." * Sunday Express *
"A fascinating account of the highs and lows of an eclectic career – and life." * Jewish Telegraph *
