Valley Boy: The Education of Tom Perkins
A"Tom Perkins is a man of extraordinary passions, among them deals, venture  capital, entrepreneurs, ocean racing, vintage cars, and extraordinary women. Valley Boy is a heady mix of picaresque adventure and high finance - more fun than most novels - told in a         charming, intimate style as if you were a privileged guest on one of Tom's legendary yachts.A" James Stewart, author of the bestselling Den of ThievesA"Perkins's account of the egos and tensions at play in the HP boardroom in early 2006 makes for an entertaining read.He writes with boyish enthusiasm and self-deprecating humour about his love of fast cars; his quest to build the Maltese Falcon, the world's most advanced sailing yacht; his fleeting marriage to Danielle Steele, the romantic novelist; his conviction for manslaughter in France after a disastrous yachting accident; and his own novel-writing project Sex and the Single Zillionaire."The Financial Times, 3 December 2007--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
