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 the most important entrepreneur of the 20th century.) Sam's memoir, 1,000 Dollars & an Idea is a business book... 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.
