ISBN 9780473170981; This a5 sized, soft covered book by Bob Simmonds contains 91,500 words and numerous illustrations about the trials and tribulations of being becoming self employed with neither money or assets that could be used as collateral. All we had was the determination not to finish my working life jumping around under some other buggers stick, but I soon found out that stock firms, government, and local body bureaucrats could be 100% more merciless than any boss I ever worked for.
