The book is edited by Syeda Imam, who has worked as a Senior Executive Creative Director in the JWT group of companies (HTA and Contract) that Subhas Ghosal so carefully nurtured and led over these years. The book also has reminiscences, letters and speeches made by Ghosal on various occasions on subjects as wide ranging as rural advertising and the plea for India as the venue of the Asian Advertising Congress.

He came to the rescue of the company when it was threatened by near bankruptcy in the '70s. Taking up arms against a sea of business troubles, he won his way against what was certainly outrageous fortune. Throughout the 400 delightful pages of this book there is a sense of partaking of something straight ; out of the top drawer.
There is no cloying sentimentality...
