Learn how to be a success from the business lessons of the Dragons and financial advice of Evan Davis.

Britain's best loved business brains – Duncan Bannatyne, Deborah Meaden, Peter Jones, Theo Paphitis and Richard Farleigh along with economics expert and presenter Evan Davis – divulge the secrets of their success in this essential read.

Joining them, is James Caan, the new Dragon who became part of the team in Series 5 which aired in October 2007. James is a multi-millionaire businessman and entrepreneur. Here, for the first time, you can read his story and learn from his experiences.

Success, From Pitch to Profit is packed with valuable advice for you, whether you want to perfect your pitching skills, develop an idea or make more money.

The Dragons will look at what's become of the entrepreneurs who entered the Dragons' Den. Some went away empty handed but have since become successful. Others won the backing of the Dragons but failed to make their dream come true. The Dragons will show you what should have been done, what should have happened next and how you too could win their backing and become a business success.

This is much more than a TV series companion. It is a solid business read with never-before-heard advice and experiences from the Dragons own business ventures.

At last, we'll find out how they became millionaires and what their rules for success are. This is a unique, accessible and useful business read straight from the Dragons' Den.
