A QUIET WORD - Tamasin Cave & Andy Rowell

Lobbying is a two-billion pound industry, answering to no-one and operating out of public sight.

This book shows just how effectively the voice of public interest is being drowned out by the word in the ear from the professional persuaders of the lobbying industry. And if you’ve never heard about them, that’s because the most effective lobbying goes unnoticed.

Our design echoes this dichotomy – the noise of the influence industry, driven by it’s silent mechanics. The addition of the comma in the subtitle, furthers the suggestion of two parties working together. One seen, the other unseen.

A Quiet Word is essential reading  and will be published in March by The Bodley Head.

Tamasin Cave and Andy Rowell are directors of Spinwatch, a not-for-profit company that investigates corporate PR and lobbying, as well as government spin.
