Synopsis
Gavin Griffiths was a fairly straight-laced, newlywed shipping executive when he bought a magazine called The Erotic Review for #1 - not just one copy, the whole business! Little did he know it would soon become the darling of the chattering classes, and a case study in heroic failure. More in the tradition of Tony Young (How to Lose Friends & Alienate People) than Felix Dennis (How to be Rich), in this highly entertaining memoir readers discover just why only one in ten new businesses make it, and what happens to the other nine.

What Reviewers Are Saying
"Hilarious, Heart-warming foray into porn." (Scarlet, October 2008) "...excellent book for business beginners...written in a fresh, breezy style" (Erotic Review, September 2008) "With its saucy matter, colourful cast and cheeky tone, it's easy to forget that his is a business book. What makes it genuinely interesting is that it's a business book all about failure." (Daily Mail, September 26, 2008) "Honest and amusing...inspiring in a refreshingly personal way...This book is perfect for anyone starting up a business" (Start Your Business, October, 2008) "...the tale of [a] shipping nagnate who brought The Erotic Review...and ammusinglt failed to make a living out of it." (The Independent, October 10, 2008) "Griffith's brazen and jovial attitude to business failure is refreshing and many of us could learn a thing or two from it." (EN Magazine, November 2008)
