Book of the week This week's book recommendation is How to Make a Billion in Nine Steps , By Richard Harpin. It's great if you are looking to start your own business. But, at least for our purposes, it is packed with tips on the sorts of things we investors should be watching out for in our research. Even better, Harpin is a British entrepreneur and so the book is written from a British perspective.
