Sunday Times Rich List published in book form for first time

After 15 years' publication, the Sunday Times Rich List is appearing in book form for the first time, and in an expanded format, listing 5,000 of Britain's wealthiest individuals.

A&C Black, publishers of Who's Who, have published The Sunday Times Rich List 2005-2006, offering 4,000 more individual profiles than the annual newspaper feature. Compiled as usual by Dr Philip Beresford, the book covers the wealthiest people and families in the UK and Ireland, based on identifiable wealth, whether land, property, art, race horses, or significant shares in publicly quoted companies. Subjects are profiled and their contact details included.

In addition the book features analysis and graphs such as wealthiest regions of the UK, male/female wealth split, top 50 Lottery winners, wealthiest by sector such as music or property, and the 20 fastest growing fortunes.

The Sunday Times Rich List 2005-2006 costs £195, although the publishers are offering reductions on this fee via other publications.

The book is listed in the UK Fundraising Bookshop.
