Losing My Virginity
Richard Branson
Virgin Books
At the age of 15 Richard Branson and a couple of school mates started running a magazine called Student. The fact that the likes of pop "demigods" Mick Jagger and John Lennon agreed to be interviewed demonstrates just a little of the teenaged Branson's determination to do it right - or not at all.
Billionaire, balloonist, buffoon (if the need is there) and the man who took on British Airways and won, Branson is an enigma who makes sure his 30 000-odd staff always have his home number. His rule of thumb: "look after your staff first.
If you have happy staff, you have happy customers." We need more Bransons! This is the updated version of his autobiography and a real page turner.
