By Eugene M. Schwartz
Published 1964 by The Executive Research Institute of America
This wonderful vintage book is in fair condition for it's age. The dust jacket is present but has some wear and tear. The pages and text are clear and legible with minimal, if any foxing. There is a strong "old book smell" with this particular book. I am trying my best to neutralize the odor. Please see the photos for more accurate representation of condition, as they are an integral part of the description.

BONUS: Included is the original envelope sent to Executive Research Institute in 1965. It has the stamp on it. What's most interesting about the find is that the return address is from C-5 State Hospital located in Little Rock, Arkansas. "Arkansas State Hospital, originally known as Arkansas Lunatic Asylum, is a public psychiatric hospital in Little Rock, Arkansas, established in 1883. As of 2017, the hospital is still active. The building was constructed in the Kirkbride design. The original Kirkbride building was demolished in the 1960s."
From the book:
"When a father worries about the kind of education his son is receiving in school and when that father is also a publisher of books that feature modern learning methods, then things begin to happen.
For the past six years the author has worked with some of the country's leading pioneers in deutro-learning, the modern science of learning how to learn. As writer, editor, and publisher he has been instrumental in bringing to the American public books on Memory Improvement, Executive Training Techniques, High Speed Learning, Creative Thinking, Problem Solving, Time Organization and many more.
But why not adapt these incredibly powerful learning breakthroughs to the problems faced by children of all ages in their classrooms? That became the goal of this book.
Edward Schwartz is a firm believer in the old-fashioned theory that work,study and determination are the keys to a fruitful life. By the time he was twenty-four, he had co-authored two nation-wide best sellers, each of which sold over 250,000 copies. His work in publishing and advertising has been praised in leading professional publications."
