Dave Waller from The Times visited LifeBook's head office in Godalming for an interview with founder Roy Moëd. The interview resulted in David's article "For everybody’s life story, there’s a ghostwriter". He was intrigued by the titles of the memoirs in the bookshelf, including Unfinished Journey, I Hate Ships and Oil Companies.
