Ten years ago, Virgin Books published Losing My Virginity, a massive
international bestseller which has sold over two million copies worldwide and
has been translated into 21 languages. Virgin are delighted to now announce
Business Stripped Bare: Adventures of a Global Entrepreneur, a major new book
from Sir Richard Branson for publication this September.
Sir Richard Branson is a unique global figure. He is one of the most
celebrated men of our time, with a truly international presence, and Virgin
is one of the world’s most recognised and trusted business brands.
In business Stripped Bare Branson reveals for the very first time the
secrets of his success. With trademark humour and candour, he shares his
experience of almost every industry and sector, providing invaluable business
advice for everyone, whether starting out or running a large multinational.
The book will draw on never-before-seen diary and notebook entries from
Branson’s massive archive, which spans more than forty years in business.
Richard Cable, Chairman of Virgin Books, comments: ‘Sir Richard is a
hugely inspirational figure. In business Stripped Bare we get to see what
makes him tick. Like Losing My Virginity this is a book destined to be read
and enjoyed by everyone whether directly involved in business or not.’
Sir Richard Branson comments: ‘What I’ve found is that there is no single
prescription for running a successful and intrepid company. There are a lot
of ways of doing it. My views have been formed over more than forty years in
the white heat of daily unfolding business life and, for the first time, I’m
going to share some of the gems.’
business Stripped Bare: Adventures of a Global Entrepreneur will be
published worldwide in September 2008 accompanied by a major national press
serialisation. Sir Richard Branson will promote in the UK and the US on
publication. The book is the first in a five-book deal for Virgin, who hold
all rights.
