About this product

Product Information

The Real Deal is a no-holds-barred account of the highs and lows of Desmond's long and illustrious career as a publisher and entrepreneur, from his first foray into the world of business at the age of five, helping his deaf father negotiate advertising contracts, to the meteoric rise of his media company Northern & Shell. He talks of his early life as a rock and roll drummer, his first fully fledged job as a classified ad salesman, his decision to move into magazine publishing and his pioneering relocation to Docklands, and so on to the inexorable rise of his raft of leisure and top-shelf titles, the launch of OK! magazine, the acquisition of Express Newspapers, the purchase and sale of Channel 5, the launch of the Health Lottery, and his current plans for a massive property development and regeneration project. Along the way, Desmond imparts many of the secrets of his astounding success, as well as giving his opinion (and he always has one) on such diverse subjects as the Royal Family, how to entertain posh guests, the benefits of Reform Judaism, and the similarities between being a rock and roll drummer and running a business. Often controversial, frequently revelatory, and always entertaining, The Real Deal is a brilliantly honest account of a life spent at the sharp end of business.

Item was just as described (near new) and I had excellent communication with this seller. The item arrived much sooner than expected, which was a nice surprise. The only downside was the item could have been packaged better as the packaging was torn in places, exposing the the dust jacket of the book when I received it. Overall, a positive transaction.

Package arrived as would expect in good condition & promptly from when ordered all items in great condition & as or as described in the description & for a good descent price & what better recomendation for a seller who provided a standard of service expected not just in a reasonable prompt delivery, price, & also a satisfied satisfaction in the quality of the items previously supported & recommended by other customer recommendations from ebay feedback but to want to be a repeat customer.
