**THE #1 AMAZON BESTSELLER IN TRAVEL, HUMOUR, AND BIOGRAPHIES**Impoverished Frank and unpredictable rogue Spud have a plan - to make a million. There is only one small problem...they are trying to do it in India. Starting out on a windy market stall in London's St Martin's-in-the-Field market and progressing to the colourful bazaars of Delhi and Rajasthan, the two bumbling entrepreneurs battle all manner of local obstacles, from giant cockroaches and unforeseen public holidays to crafty businessmen and inept tailors, to fulfil their dream."If you like comedies, travelogues and/or memoirs then you'll love this book. The charm and richness of India is portrayed beautifully, and together with some great characters, surprising twists and emotional moments, this is a truly enjoyable read. This book is about self-searching, faith, hope, love and friendship - it is also about the depths of foolishness we human beings can reach with all of our quirks and foibles. This story is so much more than a mere memoir or travelogue. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Awesome Indies"Where to start with my thoughts on this captivating story? Honestly? It's the most entertainment I've had (with words) since Round Ireland with a Fridge, which, if you could splice together with The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, might bring you close to imagining the heady pull of Frank Kusy's superb Rupee Millionaires." Kindledays"Mr Kusy is clearly capable of writing vivid and enticing portraits of India - his past as a travel writer shines through, and we see India as if we are there first hand." Harper Collins"Once started, begs to be read in one sitting. It is full of flavour, especially the scents and scintillations of India as we've never read about them before, and satisfies on every level." Grady Harp, Hall of Fame 'Vine' reviewer"This book is a memoir that will make you laugh and cry and feel like you've made friends. You'll fall in love with India and even a little bit with London." Jay Mittener, Top 500 Amazon reviewer… (plus d'informations)

56 of 75 for 2015. Frank Kusy's account of building an import business bringing goods from India (and later Thailand) to England is rife with intrigue, violence, and lots of local color--both in India and at home in England. At times the book seems more like a catalog of what not to do--finding a shady character as a partner, antagonizing customs officials, crossing international borders with undeclared goods--but it's always very readable and gives, I believe, a good account of business life in at least one part of the Subcontinent.
