I bought this book as I'm a Top Gear fan, and I thought the tenuous link to the show might be interesting - the author Shirley Clarkson is Jeremy's mum. Actually it's way more than that. It's a well written tale of how a business grew and how lessons learnt the hard way came to shape it. Shirley tells it how it is, giving enough detail to keep the reader interested but never making it boring. It's hardly a can't-put-it-down thriller, but I found I wanted to find out what happened next and I read it cover to cover in a week. The only thing stopping me giving it 5 stars is the book ends quite abruptly; I felt as if there might be more to tell about Shirley herself rather than just Paddington.
Book was as described - very good condition Very amusing - laugh out loud at times - easy to see where Jeremy gets his humour from.
