👍 Worth It
A genuinely practical reference for owner-managers, pulling together real UK case studies across finance, HR, marketing, and legal risk — and the fact it's now on its 17th-plus edition says something about lasting demand. It's UK-centric and there's no specific review of this 2011 edition to lean on, but the format and track record speak for themselves.
