Synopsis

Presents an overview of contemporary British advertising and its rise to world-class status through the eyes of Collett Dickenson Pearce, a ground-breaking agency, which introduced concept-based advertising to the British in the early 1960s.
Much of cdp’s stunning work from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s – enduring photographic images, witty one-liners
and provocative ‘long-copy’ ads – are beautifully illustrated here, giving the reader heady doses of art, humour
and nostalgia.

Jonathan Drapes is our creative director and 'Never Admit to Beige' is his first novel. They're both very good.

Synopsis

Trigg Harvey has lost his job, his flat, his friends and his trousers. Now he wants his luck back. Trigg's search takes
him to Australia's Gold Coast. In amongst the thirty miles of sun, concrete, money and neon lurks his luck, in the
possession of one Terry Smith. Now he just has to find him. His search becomes serious when it leads to the head
of the Japanese Mafia on the coast. Hampered with delusions and heavy existential baggage, Trigg has to
infiltrate the Gold Coast underworld to discover if one Mr Somatsu, aka Tetsuya Suzuki, aka Terry Smith, will help
him get his old life back. And not even kidnapping, illegal casinos, murder or golf will dent his resolve in this hilarious
story. Trigg's efforts are finally rewarded when he finds himself within feet of a solution. Unfortunately, five of Japan's most powerful men stand in his way. Trigg has to draw on everything he's learned about himself and life, not to mention the help of his new friends, to get him through. What he discovers is that perhaps having his luck taken from him was, in fact, the luckiest thing that could have happened.
