Wiltshire, Oregon and Skåne, 1970 to 2003. Three men build the same object over and over before anyone will buy one. James Dyson makes five thousand one hundred and twenty-seven test rigs of a bagless vacuum cleaner and is refused by every manufacturer he approaches. Tim Leatherman spends seven years trying to sell a folding pliers that nobody has a category for. Christian von Koenigsegg spends eight years building a car by hand in borrowed Swedish workshops before one reaches a paying customer. Each start is financed by something the usual telling leaves out: a wife's teaching salary, a licensing deal, a father's retirement, a loan secured on a house. This is an account of what that decade costs and who pays it. Covers James Dyson, Tim Leatherman, and Christian von Koenigsegg.
