Description:
London: Viking, 1987. Hardcover. Fine/very good. A fascinating look 'behind the doors' of the Bank of England. Horribly shaken by the secondary banking crisis in the 1980s, the disastrous purchase of the Johnson Matthey Bank and ensuing scandal, and shocked by the 'Big Bang', the Bank is no longer in complete control of the City. Once able to regulate national (and international) finances by a whisper or a nod, things are now controlled by bevies of lawyers, brash young men in rolled shirt sleeves - and even one with an earring! Fry's book is a brilliant and stylish portrait of an institution which has always preferred to stay out of the limelight. With this book that cherished secrecy is gone forever. Size, 24 x 16cm, 208 pages. Blue cloth boards in price-clipped but very good illustrated dust jacket. Internally, fine: clean, bright and unmarked in excellent bindings. Looks, feels and smells like new.
