Offered for sale is a copy of Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People--in its first edition, the twelfth printing, of 1937.* This printing was undertaken less than four months after the release of Carnegie's book (in October 1936). 

This copy is in good condition--the jacket (secure in mylar) remains quite bright, though it has suffered some loss, at the edges, wrinkling, and unhappy foldings; the original price ($1.96) endures on the rear flap. But for an ownership inscription (dating to the year of publication) on the F.E.P., this volume is free of underscores, annotations, &c. The cloth boards are in very good shape, notwithstanding a slight ding to the front cover. The endpapers are a bit toned, the glue beneath them having aged. The edges of the text-block are oddly abraded--why or by what means I couldn't say for sure. I suppose that they were munched a bit by a bug. There are, at all events, no other indications of infestation, and the book is without any musty or buggy odors--when the pages are riffled they give off a very lovely papery smell only. The volume is modestly cocked but, when shelved, will stand true. 

I invite you to make me an offer. 

The book will be posted in a box, for *FREE*, by USPS Priority Mail. Buyers abroad will be served by eBay's International Shipping Program. 

*N.B. S & S refer to the twelfth printing as the twelfth "edition."
