1,000 Dollars & an Idea
Explore Booksellers may be a quaint independent bookstore, but when it comes to business there is nothing quaint about its owner. Over the past half-century self-made billionaire Sam Wyly has reshaped the American business landscape. Fortune Magazine called him "one of the most, if not the most, important entrepreneurs" of the 20th century. Now with the hailed publication of his memoir, he's also a successful author.
         1,000 Dollars & an Idea is a business book... a memoir... an economic history of modern America... and an entertaining tale of the American Dream. It's selling fast at bookstores across the country. But if you want a signed first edition, order it from the author's bookstore.
