Beschreibung

8vo, 8 x 5 inches. In the original publisher's pictorial dust wrapper (including half-tone photo of Carnegie) and with price unclipped ($1.96). 23rd Edition, but a book that was one of the greatest best sellers of its time, and editions were run off consecutively. this, issued only a year after the initial release in 1936. A fine copy, signed by Carnegie in light blue ink of front fly. Wrapper in tact, tears and parts worn through, but G-VG. Carnegie's most famous book, one which has influenced countless people through the years, with 30 million copies sold worldwide, making it one of the best-selling books of all time. Carnegie had been conducting business education courses in New York since 1912, when Leon Shimkin, of Simon & Schuster, took one of Carnegie's 14-week courses on human relations and public speaking, and later persuaded Carnegie to let a stenographer take notes from the course to be revised for publication. "How to Win Friends." went through 17 editions in its first year alone! In 2011, it was number 19 on Time's list of the 100 most influential Nonfiction books. Early editions (of which this is considered) with dust wrappers are very scarce.
