This classic is one of the best selling books of all time. First published in 1936, How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie became one of the most influential self-help books of the 20th century. This copy is a first edition, 81st printing, likely produced in the 1940s, and preserves the original, unaltered text. Carnegie’s timeless principles—on handling people, winning others to your way of thinking, and fostering goodwill—remain just as relevant today. Ideal for readers interested in personal development, leadership history, or owning a piece of publishing heritage. The book's structural integrity is sound. The pages are clean and the binding is good. The book cover has a light superficial tear on the bottom left (see image 1) and the the head of the spine has a slight tear (see image 3). That aside and in totality, the book is in good condition for its age.
