About this product
Product Information
An internet Barbarians at the Gate- the boo.com story captures the feverish excitement of the dot.com boom in the late 90s- 'Enthralling' The Financial Times 'Such a dazzling version of the boo phenomenon that as readers turn the pages they will be rooting for the company to survive even though they know the story ends in disaster.' The Sunday Times'boo hoo is an engrossing account of how two childhood friends persuaded some of the world's savviest investors and fashion houses -including Bernard Arnault's L VMH and the Benetton family -to fund a sports and designer clothing company to the tune of $100m.' The Guardian' his tale captures the hype and excitement of developing what was seen by many as a ground-breaking company with state-of-the-art technology... Along the way, it tells of endless rounds of raising finance, glamorous parties, staff clashes and bitter sparring with the press.' BBC.co.uk'The game would be to bring boo.com to market, when it would soon be worth more than $1 billion and make its backers rich. Can all this have happened last year? It seems more like a tale from a different aeon, but the lessons it teaches are timeless.' The Spectator'One of the hottest books on the shelves at Waterstones.' Sunday Times Style magazIne'boo hoo. ..is 386 pages of oddly gripping text made nearly unbelievable by the amount of money that was given voluntarily to two twentysomething Swedes. ..the very readable book.. .adds lurid colour to the story.' The Daily Telegraph'Reading this has the fascination of watching a high-speed car crash replayed in slow motion. You know what's going to happen, you can see the confident glow on the drivers' faces, but can't warn them about the curve in the road that is coming to unstick them. Schadenfreude is irresistible. And yet everyone walks away unhurt.' The Independent'With its evocative and colourful narrative, you'll quickly find yourself transported to the duo's world of ridiculous money-fuelled excess. Boo hoo offers up a truly entertaining insight into the frenzied and dizzying world of dotcommery at a time when everybody with a bright idea had a chance to make a million.' Virginstudent.com

I wanted a good condition copy of this book (one of my favourites) to replace my original copy damaged accidentally. The seller listed the book as "as new", and it was indeed in "as new" condition. Seller was willing to accept my offer, quick dispatch and safe delivery. Highly recommended, reliable seller A+.

I paid for this item on 4 May. It has still not arrived 10 days after my order. The arrival time has been constantly delayed. I now doubt whether it will arrive at all. In which case I will demand reimbursement of my purchase amount. Poor service and poor communication from the seller - Roger Finnigan
