Hi Peter,

As it happens there is a great new book out about this subject.  I read it a
few weeks back whilst on holiday.  It is by Richard Koch and is called "The
80 / 20 Principle".  There seem to be 2 ISBN numbers which are 1-85788-167-2
HB and 1-85788-168-0 PB (rather strange to have two!)  There is also a web
site listed which I guess is the publishers www.nbrealey-books.com

The book is simple to read and absorb although I must say that the first
half is a bit repetitive as he tries to drum the basic facts into you.  The
second half covers much more ground.  It is full of real life examples (of
the type of work companies love to pay high fees for to blood suckers like
me!)

Please note that there is no major reference to trading (a little on stocks)
but it is interesting stuff for both improving businesses and indeed peoples
lifestyles which was a whole new perspective for me.  Being a "non-trading"
book I was pleased to acquire this work in hardback for the mere sum of
£16.99!!!!!!!

Hope you find it interesting if you get it.

Regards

Simon
