Any Other Business: Life in and Out of the City: Collected Writings from the Spectator and Elsewhere (Hardback)

"How refreshing then to find a book that is not only a fascinating read, but also one that is written as an edifying insight into the life, experience and opinions of a thoroughly interesting individual. This book is a glorious collection of personal postcards of the financial events and histories we have lived through over the past few decades. Included are a cast of characters from the unsavoury to the deeply worrying, but ones that we either know or can certainly picture." - Justin Urquhart Stewart, FT Adviser; "Martin Vander Weyer, arguably the finest financial journalist of his generation, has three priceless gifts. He has the ability to describe the most complex economic conundrums in the simplest of prose; he has an exceptionally well-developed sense of humour; and he is a Yorkshireman, by nature, if not birth. All three gifts are amply and effortlessly displayed in this splendid collection of Martin's most memorable columns from the Spectator magazine and elsewhere." - Robert Beaumount, York Press; "Just the thing for the dark days after Christmas when you may be suffering from SAD or merely excess ... It should cheer you up no end." - Allan Massie, The Spectator
