- Pickled Branson
Not much is divulged by this eager half-goat-half-man man that can't be gleaned otherwise, though we do sadly learn of a prematurely terminated love affair with his late friend Steve scraped-myself-out-the-plane-only-to-be-quartered-by-wild-dogs Fossett. Rather than feeling surprised by this I found my self feeling quite unnerved, but I suppose that is mainly due to the fact that I can't for the life of me shake the urge to hear the writer as an even camper Tony Blair.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R34XCEWXTBLEZO Business Stripped Bare was refreshing, to say the least. A most enjoyable book. I hope the review shows why. I have included very brief chapter-by-chapter descriptions.
