Take a trip back in time ... remember these trucks? Remember the iceberg that floated into Sydney Harbour? Did you go out and buy Dickhead matches - remember them? Dick Smith was a master at marketing stunts but there is so much more to Dick Smith than the "double entendre" marketing.
This is a guy who just kept on keeping on, not blessed with a brilliant or privileged start in school or his working life & career at all but his personal and business achievements place him in the ranks of one of Australia's "great icons"
In this book, Dick tells of his personal successes, the struggles and the failures, his early school life, working life, his business developments and of course, the adventures in his helicopter followed by other ventures such as Dick Smith Foods.
Truly an inspirational book ... just when you think things are tough and you cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel, this book will show you how all is not lost ...

With all that said, I do notice a light mark of some sort on the front of the jacket, between the text "My Adventurous Life" and Dick's head. Not terrible by any means but there none-the-less.
To preserve the current very good condition of this book, it has now been sealed in cellowrap (non-reactive with paper) and then within a sealed clear plastic sleeve.
