The Diary of Ridley Pinstripe

The book that literally no one was waiting for

The business world was shaken to its core with the publication five years ago of the searing expose of corporate big business The Diary of Ridley Pinstripe. Indeed, it was so shaken that virtually no one bought a copy of the book, so now it has been relaunched.

Published when Ridley Pinstripe was aged 33, the book reflected the unique insight into the business world of a go-getting young corporate businessman whose go-getting nature had got up and gone.

Five years later, it has still not come back and the few people who did buy a copy of the book will not be surprised to hear that the author has not risen above his job title at the time, namely Deputy Assistant Procurement Manager (Marker Pens) in the Stock Control Department of Barking, Madd and Madd, global manufacturer of the worple sprocket (double flanged, single hinged).

The Diary of Ridley Pinstripe has received a number of testimonies:

‘Definitely a book’

Jenny Redshoes, Business Journalist, Business Journalist

‘What this man lacks in insight…’

Malcolm Frodsham, Business Correspondent Business World

‘I particularly liked the marker pens’

Alex Crayon, Editor Marker Pen Monthly

‘Ridley Pinstripe has written some words’

Vicky Mayweather, Intern, Standing Still, the magazine of the stationary industry, to whom a review copy was sent in error

‘Mr Pinstripe, my lawyer has made it very clear on numerous occasions that you have to stop contacting me. There is nothing you can do to change my mind about refusing to write a review for your book– although I would quite like it if you would return my dog, which disappeared and which I am now led to believe was kidnapped by you’

Joseph ‘Joseph’ Josephson Assistant Editor, The Sprocket

‘I have been privileged to have played a small part in supporting the rich talent that is Ridley Pinstripe. In his diary, he lifts the lid on the cut-throat world of corporate big business without fear or favour and, frankly, not much in the way of inside knowledge either. Actually, the more I come to think of it, he never listens to any of the advice that I give him. In short, it’s been a massive waste of my time’

Novelist John Dean
