The Vestey Affair
Shipping
Phillip Knightley’s 1981 hardback, The Vestey Affair, lifts the curtain on one of Britain’s most secretive business dynasties. In this concise, illustrated biography, the investigative journalist traces how the Vestey family built a global meat empire while keeping their finances—and tax bills—out of public sight.
True-crime and economic-history buffs will appreciate Knightley’s brisk 159-page account of power, wealth, and financial strategy. Vintage 1980s design, complete with dust-jacket graphics, gives the volume extra shelf appeal for collectors of business exposés.
This used copy shows honest age: the jacket carries light scuffs and small edge tears, and a half-dozen pages bear minor marks, yet the binding is tight and no previous owner added notes or dog-ears. It’s ready for immediate reading or reference on enterprise, taxation, and personal finance case studies.
A smoke-free, signed-free example that lets new readers discover—or rediscover—Knightley’s classic investigation without collector pricing.
