Here we have the 1998 first edition/first printing of THE 48 LAWS OF POWER by Robert Greene and published by Viking. Get this book today if you want to CRUSH your enemies, see them DRIVEN before you, and hear the LAMENTATIONS of their women. Reading this classic on the philosophy of POWER will have you feeling like Conan in no time flat.


This particular edition is identified as a 1st printing by the presence of the "1" in the complete number line on the copyright page and the priced dust jacket at $24.95. Personally I think those half black/half white boards are a pretty sweet design element. Perhaps it symbolizes the duality of power which can be used for GOOD or EVIL. So after reading this book remember to use your power RESPONSIBLY.


Book is in excellent FINE condition with a hint of shelf wear and no major flaws I could detect. I would have said LIKE NEW but that's always scary. There must be SOMETHING wrong with it right? PLEASE refer to pictures for more detailed information on condition.


Thank you for considering this book and, as always, 


Godspeed,

P.S. - ๐•ณ๐–Š๐–—๐–Š๐–Ž๐–“ ๐–‹๐–”๐–‘๐–‘๐–”๐–œ๐–˜ ๐–† long winded COPY AND PASTE explanation about boring, logistical stuff written in MID JULY of the year of our Lord, 2025.


The ILLUMINATED LIBRARYโ„ข is a one man operation out of a small 2-bedroom monastery in search of cool books and other interesting paper goods. I, ๐•ฎ๐–†๐–˜๐–˜๐–Žโ‚๐–‰๐–”๐–—๐–š๐–˜, am in charge of all the exciting stuff like acquisition and reading but also all the less exciting stuff like listing and packing.  


As you may have noticed I make listing more interesting by inserting jokes in the descriptions and generally pretending to be a medieval monk. I make shipping more interesting by wrapping your book in fancy black paper (or whatever other cool paper Iโ€™ve got) and writing your name on the WRAPPING PAPER (never the book) in ๐–‹๐–†๐–“๐–ˆ๐–ž ๐–ˆ๐–†๐–‘๐–‘๐–Ž๐–Œ๐–—๐–†๐–•๐–๐–ž. Sometimes I even doodle a weird little guy on it. Just like medieval monks used to do. 


Anyways, If you want me to write a DIFFERENT NAME than the one on your shipping address please let me know ASAP so I can do that for you. Might make a fun gift  ๐Ÿ‘€ for a friend who likes books. Even if that friend is yourself.


My goal is next day (or even same day shipping) but dear reader I have a confession to make. I have three small children and a day job. This doesnโ€™t make me special but sometimes it turns out to be a difficult 2-3 days


Are you still reading? Oh good! Let me tell you about my packing strategy.


I place your book into a nucleus of soft cushy protection using successive layers of wrapping paper, bubble wrap, kraft paper and sometimes even pool noodles. The nucleus is then enclosed in a tough cell wall of a corrugated cardboard box. God bless โ€˜em but I know post office employees are chucking boxes around in the back room. ( Not at the local office where I drop them off. Those are all lovely people).


I primarily use recycled boxes and paper as a small contribution towards saving the Earth. If your book arrives in a box from amazon or a diaper box please understand that you are helping me save the earth. 


The ILLUMINATED LIBRARYโ„ข started acquiring books a little over one year ago so I am not an expert yet. I try my best to describe everything as accurately as possible but continue to make mistakes.  PLEASE MESSAGE ME IF I MAKE A MISTAKE. You wouldnโ€™t let a brother look like a fool would you?


I think these books look โœจSUPER AWESOMEโœจ on the shelves of the monastery. I think they would look โœจSUPER AWESOMEโœจ on your shelf too.  


Even if itโ€™s not in a monastery. ๐Ÿ™

P.P.S - if youโ€™ve read this far then maybe you are crazy enough to check out the other books Iโ€™ve got in the Library.
