Gideon Haigh persuaded his wife to make their honeymoon a fact-finding trip, as he looked into the history of the office.
The office is not only a place of work, but also the place where thousands of minor and major dramas are played out every day.
It’s the place where fortunes and reputations are made or crushed.

The Office: A Hardworking History published by Miegunyah Press.
