Dr. Seuss and Napoleon Hill
July 1, 2007 | by brett | Permalink
I am probably the only person in the history of book buying who has bought works by Dr. Seuss and Napoleon Hill at the same time.
Yesterday I bought Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich because he did something similar to what I am doing now, and I wanted to see how his findings compared to mine.
I also bought Dr. Seuss’s Oh, the Places You’ll Go in celebration of the start to tomorrow’s journey.
Both books have a similar message, although judging by the eye brow raise of the cashier, it was a very odd combination.

Since you are a fan of Napoleon Hill, I know you will enjoy listening to past episodes of our Live Talk Show.
Since October 2006, we have been discussing in depth Hill’s works and Charles Haanel, a mentor to Hill
Join us LIVE and have FUN and enjoy the Master Mind

I enjoyed visiting your blog today, and I thought that you might be interested to learn that a new edition of Napoleon Hill’s classic book “Think and Grow Rich” has been published.
Its title is “Think and Grow Rich!” (subtitled) “The Original Version, Restored and Revised.” I am the editor/annotator of this new 412-page edition, which is really an homage to Dr. Hill. (For several years I was the editor-in-chief of “Think & Grow Rich Newsletter.”)
What I have done is this: to restore Dr. Hill’s book to its original manuscript content (it was first published in 1937, but was abridged in 1960), annotate it with more than 50 pages of endnotes (most of the persons and events he discusses are generally unknown to readers today), index it thoroughly, add an appendix with a wealth of additional information about Dr. Hill and his work, and revise the book in ways to help remove certain “impediments” to reading the book today (language that today would be considered obsolete, sexist or racist). None of these things had previously been done with TGR.
If you would like to learn a little more about this project, a quick visit to http://www.tgr-restored-revised.com will give you some details. The “Editor’s Foreword” provides more complete information, and the “Testimonials” page will demonstrate how well-received this new book is around the world.
Here is the book’s Amazon.com page…
..and BarnesandNoble.com page…
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&EAN=9781593302009&itm=9 .
The book is available on all the Amazon websites and most other online sellers, it can be ordered by any bookstore, and it will start appearing in bookstores soon.
Our edition of TGR! is superior in every way to other versions on the market. It is a trade paperback, not a pocket-size mass market paperback. It is 412 pages versus 230+ (depending on the edition). It looks better, feels better, reads better than any other version. It is fast becoming the “version of choice” among Napoleon Hill devotees and other students of success and high achievement.
Thank you for your time and attention.
