Book description
Andrew Elliot’s University was the Glasgow slump of the ’30s. He left school at 16 and started in the timber business. In a dozen years he had made enough money to retire for a while and do some highly lucrative part-time writing. After the war, he started again from scratch, this time as a book publisher. Paper was rationed. Money was tight. Elliot knew not a single author, printer or bookseller. Bold? Yes, but it worked. Today his firm Elliot Right Way Books (now largely run by his sons Clive and Malcolm) is famed throughout the world for low-priced practical books.
Redundancy pay or an inheritance, savings or maybe just your own drive – any of these may give you the opportunity to go into business. Whether you are going to start your own business or buy some existing enterprise, Elliot here gives away all the secrets.
