Good Vibrations charts the rise of Ann Summers and its charismatic boss, Jacqueline Gold, who belongs to one of Britain’s most extraordinary business families.

It tells the story from the days when her grandparents bought up books and comics used as ballast in container ships from America and sold them on an East London stall. It charts the family’s success as leading publishers of top-shelf girlie magazines, and it recalls the acquisition of Britain’s first sex supermarket in 1971.

At the tender age of twenty-one, working as an office junior in her father’s business, Jacqueline saw the potential of selling sexy lingerie and sex aids to women in the privacy of their own homes, and quickly transformed Ann Summers into a multi-million pound concern and one of the world’s leading party plan businesses.

Jacqueline tells her story with candour and enthusiasm, showing how she has fought off misconception and innuendo with a determination to succeed. Set to take over one day as chairwoman of the family’s £100 million empire, Jacqueline Gold will undoubtedly become one of Britain’s highest-earning female executives in an industry that has long been dominated by men. She will also continue to be an inspiration to thousands of women already devoted to her and her campaign to redress the balance in Britain’s sex industry.
