Abstract
We have seen that from a starting point where essentially no dedicated b-physics program was envisaged, the b-physics legacy of the LEP era is a diverse collection of results which in many cases brought the subject into the realms of precision physics. Two key developments above all others made this possible: the first was the construction of precision vertex detectors based on silicon strip devices and the second was the widespread application of inclusive b-physics analysis techniques.
