Free Think and Grow Rich eBook
Written by Howard Beale on November 24th, 2007 with no commentsYou may be wondering why we decided to create yet another free e-book download of Think and Grow Rich (PDF format) when there are so many versions currently on the internet. The reason is simple: we felt that nearly all of the freely available versions of Napoleon Hills classic work failed to do it justice.
This whole project started when I noticed that nearly all of the free versions of Think and Grow Rich that you can download were very poorly put together. On the whole, most versions are scanned copies of the 1937 version (now in the public domain) but they completely miss out on the italics that the original version had.
Why is this important?
Put simply, without italics the meaning of the original work changes. The emphasis that Napoleon Hill used (or any author uses) is done so to enable the reader to understand specific phrases and help them realise the importance of the words used.
Having studied and been interested in semiotics briefly while at college, the availability of so many “incorrect” texts online is something that I’ve increasingly become concerned about. Removing italics, bold text or even capitalizations of characters within a piece of work changes the *intended* meaning and leaves the interpretation wide open. At the best of times, interpreting the written word can lead to minor schisms and ideological divides. At it’s worst, it can start wars…
Driven by a burning desire to right a wrong, I have been compelled to re-publish this classic work in the attempt to restore it to it’s original glory. The version that you are now invited to download has been sourced from several different versions; had the italics and capitalizations restored; OCR (Optical Character Recognition) errors amended; formatting fixed and even has a new cover based on one of the original versions. It has been a labor of love…
The passion to restore this ebook grew and the site you now witness is testament to the principles outlined within Think and Grow Rich. From a simple idea to restore the text, the site grew. And from the site an opportunity: a sponsor for the idea was found. And from the idea of sponsorship lie other opportunities such as a potential forum of like minded individuals helping to Mastermind each other on their journeys to financial freedom.
Who knows where this road will lead…
We have built this site with the intention of helping people to discover how they might attain the richness which they seek in their own life. Simply by providing a book - a powerful text - we believe it is possible to help people realize that they are able to create a richer framework of thoughts and actions which they can use in their day to day lives. From positive thoughts come positive actions that will touch everyone around…
It is our hope that this simple seed of an idea helps YOU to Think and Grow Rich. It is our belief that you can change your life and “make it richer”. It is our dream that this simple idea - having manifested and become a reality - demonstrates that it is possible to create something from nothing… as long as you have a *BURNING DESIRE* and willingness to TAKE ACTION.
It *is* possible to discover “the secret” hidden in Think and Grow Rich. And now, with our new version of this work, it will make it easier for the secret to be revealed as Napoleon Hill intended.
We know you will enjoy it. And you can be sure to read it as Napoleon Hill had intended it to be read.
