Written by Michael Towle, this book is a practical guide to starting and running a small business in the United Kingdom. It's aimed at people who have little or no experience at running a business. It covers many of the things you'll need to deal with, including finding premises, finding and managing staff, raising finance, sales and marketing, managing customers and suppliers, dealing with cash flow problems, and more. It's not a theoretical guide, and neither does it present you with endless lists of things you need to do. It talks about the things you need to think about, and the practical issues you're likely to encounter. All the information the author imparts to the reader is gained through his 40 years experience at running small businesses. Many of the matters discussed in the book are there because they happened to him, and he dealt with them. They may happen to you. The book doesn't tell you how to make millions, or how to be enormously successful. What it does do, is assist you in making the right decisions early on in your business, and hopefully avoid some of the pitfalls. If you're starting your first business, or have already been in business for a short while, this is the book you need to read. Available now from Amazon: Kindle Paperback book Hardcover book
		There's something very special about the Fender Stratocaster. It's been around a long time, longer than me, and I'm old! It's played a huge part in rock history, and it's played by some of the biggest musicians in the business. This book is based on my previous book The Fender Stratocaster: 1971 to 2011. This book is much larger, and now covers the period from the very first Stratocaster in 1954 right up to 2014. That's over 60 years of Stratocaster history. While most of us can't afford a Stratocaster built in the 1950s or 1960s (sadly, that includes me), most of us are still interested in those models. Hence this new, expanded edition of the book. This isn't a book about the great people that play the guitar, it's about the guitar itself. In this book, the Stratocaster is the star. There have been a lot of models, and this book runs through them all (as far as I'm aware), right up to 2014. It covers Strats with aluminium bodies, Strats with 7 strings, Strats with synthesisers, Strats with an extended neck, and more, they're all in here. It covers almost every production model made in the USA by Fender between 1954 and 2014, excluding the Fender Custom Shop and some short run orders. Though a few Custom Shop Strats and some short run orders are included. This book goes into detail about the necks, heads, pickups and hardware. It includes sufficient information to allow you to identify most models. It also includes what may be one of the most comprehensive lists of serial numbers available. This includes serial numbers for all Fender and Squier models, not just the Stratocaster, and not just those guitars made in the USA, but in a range of countries, including Mexico, Japan, Korea, China, Brazil, Taiwan, India and Indonesia.
