Napoleon Hill's First Editions [Hardcover]

Napoleon Hill (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 30, 2007

This beautiful collectors edition is a compilation of the best of Napoleon Hills early work, the basis of all his future perennial bestsellers. These writings have not been reprinted since they were originally published in 1918 to 1924. It is in these early articles that Hill honed his theories, refined his arguments, and polished his presentation of the success philosophy for the common man that his benefactor, Carnegie had envisioned. The material that filled the pages of Hills Golden Rule and Napoleon Hills Magazine are the original versions for the lessons that would become the basis of Hills masterwork Law of Success, and ten years after that, his international bestseller Think and Grow Rich.

This review is from: Napoleon Hill's First Editions (Hardcover)

A beautiful well written book by one of the masters. The writters of today are not bad, but they lack the flair put forth by Napoleon Hill, W. Clement Stone, and other of their day. The old masters were able to deliver their message in a direct and sincere capacity, no sugarcoating it. If you like direct and to the point, this is the book to get. If you want the 'sugarcoat', then you may want a more current author.
