DAMAGED GOODS hits bestseller list

Many congratulations to Oliver Shah, whose acclaimed Damaged Goods: The Inside Story of Sir Philip Green, the Collapse of BHS and the Death of the High Street (Portfolio Penguin) hit the Sunday Times bestseller list in its week of publication.

In his review in the Financial Times, Andrew Hill described the book as ‘a sweeping, detailed colourful account of the rise and fall of the king of the UK’s High Street, complete with a Dickensian cast of grifters, charlatans, flunkies, the odd dogged hero, and an irresistibly obnoxious protagonist.’ He calls it ‘a hard-hitting, often funny, ultimately sobering tale of how fortunes were made and lost in late 20th and early 21st century Britain.’
