I’ve been ask to post this, about a new book that’s out, by Jonathan Power, in conjunction with our own David Collins.
I haven’t got a clue it’s about, or cost, or where you can buy it, but apparently there are lots of City references in it.
Perhaps David, or someone else out there, could fill in the blanks

I’m not sure sorry. It is out of print as a “new” book. My copy is covered in autographs. I may be able to find a spare to sell. If so I will DM you.Quote:
