Title: HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE
Author: Carnegie, Dale
Seller: Type Punch Matrix (United States)
Condition: Very good in good jacket.
Description: New York: Simon and Schuster, 1936. Very good in good jacket.. Rare first printing of the iconic self-help book, "one of the most successful books in American history" (Emmeche). Developed from his YMCA public speaking course and published during the Great Depression, HOW TO WIN FRIENDS offered hope in an era of pessimism. Carnegie argued that readers could improve their lives through changing their own mindset, regardless of outside forces. In the Depression, "not only did people lose their savings; they lost their pride and sense of control. That is exactly what Carnegie gave them back" (McHugh, 227). HOW TO WIN FRIENDS emphasized confidence and self reliance, while offering the tools of business etiquette and modern psychology. All these combined to form a foundational blueprint for how to achieve success in the modern American landscape. HOW TO WIN FRIENDS is incredibly scarce in the original dust jacket. It was initially titled HOW TO MAKE FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE, but "make" did not fit well on the first edition's cover design, so Carnegie changed it to "win" (McHugh, 228). After a modest print run of three thousand copies, it hit the NYT best-seller list, going into dozens of printings within the first few years. A rarity in the the true first printing of this American touchstone. 7.75'' x 5''. Original red cloth stamped in gilt to spine and front board. In original unclipped ($2.00) photographic dust jacket, "Chicago University" on front flap. 337, [5] pages. Pencil owner name to front fly leaf; a few self improvement-related pencil notes to final leaves (e.g. "study astronomy"). Jacket with moderate chipping primarily around spine ends, long closed tear to front fold, rubbing. Book with light sunning and soil; hinges firm.

Title: Autograph letter signed to Charles Tilston Bright
Author: Airy, George Biddell
Seller: Jeremy Norman & Co., Inc. (United States)
Description: London, 1862. Airy, George Biddell (1801-92). A.L.s. to Charles Tilston Bright. London, August 15, 1862. 4pp. 188 x 119 mm. Provenance: Latimer Clark. Airy served as Great Britain's astronomer royal from 1835 to 1881, and was a noted critic and frequent adversary of Charles Babbage. In 1862 he undertook the task of determining the difference in longitude between Greenwich and Valentia, Ireland, the European landing point for the first Atlantic cable, which had failed four years earlier. The observations were made with the aid of time signals transmitted from Greenwich to Valentia by telegraph, using some of the cable laid for the failed 1858 venture, and Airy's letter to Bright, a founding member of Cyrus Field's Atlantic Telegraph Company, expresses his gratitude for the opportunity: "We have at length finished the practical part of our operations for the Valentia longitude, and I trust successfully. . . . For the opportunity of doing it at all, we are entirely indebted to your kindness-in the retention of the Valentia wires, when there was hardly any reason for the retention except the prospect of our work, and in the favourable introduction to your brother [Edward Bright] and to the B. & I. M. T. [British and Irish Magnetic Telegraph] Company. . . . The signals were transmitted without difficulty and in an excellently observable state when the weather was reasonably good. In some of the heavy Irish showers, they were rather weak, but never too faint for observation. "The operation was naturally protracted by the impossibility of securing in every case transits at Greenwich, transits at Valentia, and galvanic signals. But the principal cause of delay was the irregularity of some clerk, name and station unknown . . . who did not always follow out your brother's regularity in establishing connexions. We imagine him to be an Irishman and entitled to use the national privilege of irregularity, and accordingly we forgive him heartily, and thank him for the connexions which he did make. . . ." Airy had been consulted about the feasibility of submarine telegraphy prior to the laying of the first Atlantic cable, his opinion at the time being that it was "a mathematical impossibility to submerge a cable at so great a depth" (quoted in Carter 1968, 125).
