Good. [2], x, 305, [3] pages. Bibliography, board corners and top and bottom spine edges worn/small chips, small piece missing at spine. Comments and underling noted. Some pencil erasures noted. Nice inscription signed by Carnegie on fep. Dale Harbison Carnegie (November 24, 1888-November 1, 1955) was an American writer and lecturer and the developer of famous courses in self-improvement, salesmanship, public speaking, and interpersonal skills. He was the author of How to Win Friends and Influence People (1936), a bestseller that remains popular today. He also wrote, Lincoln the Unknown (1932), and several other books. One of the core ideas is that it is possible to change other people's behavior by changing one's behavior toward them. By 1916 Dale was able to rent Carnegie Hall itself for a lecture to a packed house. Carnegie's first collection of his writings was Public Speaking: a Practical Course for Business Men (1926), later entitled Public Speaking and Influencing Men in Business (1932). His crowning achievement, however, was when Simon & Schuster published How to Win Friends and Influence People. Lincoln the Unknown is a biography of Abraham Lincoln, written in 1932 by Dale Carnegie and given out as a prize in the Dale Carnegie Course. One spring day, Dale Carnegie came across a column in the Morning Post newspaper entitled "Men and Memories". On that particular morning and for several mornings following, that column was devoted to Abraham Lincoln-the personal side of his career. Carnegie read those with profound interest, and surprise. He determined to write a book on Lincoln, himself. Carnegie began the work in Europe, and then went to Illinois, to write of Lincoln on the very ground where Lincoln himself had dreamed and toiled. He delved among old books, letters, speeches, newspapers and court records, trying to understand Lincoln. Carnegie wrote many of the chapters in Springfield. Some in the sitting-room of the old home where Lincoln lived, some at the desk where he composed his first inaugural address, and others where he came to court Mary Todd.

Seller's Description:
Fair to good. 305 pages. Bibliography, board corners and top and bottom spine edges worn/small chips, small piece missing at top of spine. Dale Harbison Carnegie (November 24, 1888-November 1, 1955) was an American writer and lecturer and the developer of famous courses in self-improvement, salesmanship, corporate training, public speaking, and interpersonal skills. He was the author of How to Win Friends and Influence People (1936), a bestseller that remains popular today. He also wrote How to Stop Worrying and Start Living (1948), Lincoln the Unknown (1932), and several other books. One of the core ideas in his books is that it is possible to change other people's behavior by changing one's behavior toward them. Carnegie changed the spelling of his last name from "Carnagey" to Carnegie, at a time when Andrew Carnegie (unrelated) was a widely revered and recognized name. As Dale Carnagey he worked as assistant to Lowell Thomas in his famous travelogue "With Allenby in Palestine and Lawrence in Arabia". He managed and delivered the travelogue in Canada. By 1916 Dale was able to rent Carnegie Hall itself for a lecture to a packed house. [5] Carnegie's first collection of his writings was Public Speaking: a Practical Course for Business Men (1926), later entitled Public Speaking and Influencing Men in Business (1932). His crowning achievement, however, was when Simon & Schuster published How to Win Friends and Influence People. Carnegie died at his home in Forest Hills, New York, where this early edition was published. Bookplate signed by Dale Carnegie awarding this book to a student in class number 16 as a prize for his excellent talk on "How to Win Friends and Influence People." Lincoln the Unknown is a biography of Abraham Lincoln, written in 1932 by Dale Carnegie. It is published by Dale Carnegie and Associates, and given out as a prize in the Dale Carnegie Course. Abraham Lincoln, a farm boy, becomes the president of The United States. He travels miles to borrow books; reading being the dominant passion of his for quarter of a century. He mourns the loss of his first love his whole life. He humors his colleagues in the White House, and lives with the difficulties of the marriage with his second love, while in war with the South. One spring day, Dale Carnegie was breakfasting at a hotel in London. He came across a column in the Morning Post newspaper entitled "Men and Memories". On that particular morning and for several mornings following, that column was devoted to Abraham Lincoln-the personal side of his career. Carnegie read those with profound interest, and surprise. He had always been interested in the United States history. Aroused by the articles in the Morning Post, Carnegie went over to the British Museum Library and read a number of Lincoln books; the more he read, the more fascinated he became. Finally he determined to write a book on Lincoln, himself. Carnegie began the work in Europe, and labored over it for a year there, and then for two years in New York. Finally he tore up all that he had written and tossed it into a waste-basket. He then went to Illinois, to write of Lincoln on the very ground where Lincoln himself had dreamed and toiled. For months he lived among people whose fathers had helped Lincoln survey land, build fences and drive hogs to market. For months he delved among old books, letters, speeches, half-forgotten newspapers and musty court records, trying to understand Lincoln. Carnegie spent one summer in the little town of Petersburg. He went there because it is only a mile away from the restored village of New Salem, where Lincoln spent the happiest and most formative years of his life. The same white oaks under which Lincoln studied, wrestled and made love were still standing. Every morning Carnegie used to take his typewriter and motor up there from Petersburg, and wrote half of the chapters of his book under those trees. He often used to go alone to the woods along the banks...
In all my seven decades of actively reading good books, this book by Dale Carnegie ranks at the very top! Every single page is gripping and leaves one eager for more. It is one of those very rare books that make you reluctant to approach its ending to close this wonderful reading experience! I consider it as good a book as any I have ever read, save the Bible. I had thought that I knew a great deal about Lincoln and had even stood by the bed where he died...but there is so much more to his story as one discovers by reading this truly amazing account--a masterpiece indeed!

A different Lincoln
Excellent book for someone who wants to know more about Lincoln, then a student learns in school. Truly a different side of the historic man.

The best!
Dale Carnegie has an eye for character and an ability to pack an unbelievable amount into a short book. I have read a lot of books, and this is the best non-fiction I have ever read. I regularly give this as a gift, but the available copies are becoming scarce and more expensive.
