In a riotous ride through the City of London we meet the characters and events that filled the social and City pages of the press in that roller-coaster year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuy Magnus, an ambitious young share dealer, makes a daring takeover bid in the face of opposition from the City Establishment. Will he follow their rules, or his own: never to fall in love with a deal? Will he come to repent his challenge to the powers-that-be? Is Guy's story fiction or fact? Was a Norfolk Broads canal boat really moored in the marina of Monte Carlo? Did a Henry Moore sculpture really become the most expensive work of art in the world? And did a bet for a lunch at Maxim's for the first to make a million, Guy or his friend and rival Harry Griffin, bring a merchant bank to the verge of collapse?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTHE SHELL COLLECTOR tells a cautionary tale of the City when its buccaneering spirit was at a peak. Whether true or false, it is never less than entertaining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 340\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.76 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 26, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47248414376185,"sku":"9781912850907","price":18.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/N1U2S2N5Tm1qcE50Zk8zM0xxSmJsdz09.webp?v=1768634989","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-shell-collector-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
