Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Against My Better Judgement. Sunned spine. Terry Maher describes in detail the formation of a new company and how it was developed into a £250 million business. He gives an insider's view of the City and takes the reader into the inner sanctums of the merchant banking parlours. He tells the story of the purchase of Dillons from the University of London and how it was then expanded to become Britain's largest specialist bookseller. He gives a blow-by-blow account of the campaign to end the Net Book Agreement; what people said and what they did - which were not always the same thing. He explains the background to his departure from the company that he founded and ran for more than twenty years; and tells who did whay and why. Terry Maher highlights some of the obstacles to new business development and suggest some solutions; he touches on: The rapacity of the banks. The power of the pension funds and their damaging short-termism. The implications of the major economic failures of successive governments. The divisive nature of the new obsession with corporate governance. 223 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…
