Summary: The review you've been waiting for.
Comment: Greetings. I may be exactly where you were, wondering what this new revised edition has to offer that the others do not (Esp. the ORIGINAL UNABRIDGED VERSION of THE LAW OF SUCCESS that was released by Melvin Powers.) (1928 version)

Here's the deal:

This book actually has Hill's original work that was, I believe, the 5th edition published by Friends of Napoleon Hill, with a few adjustments. Some of the text has been altered ie the changing of "long-haired theorist" to simply "theorist".. etc. Also, instead of Hill's famous "The author claims" sayings, they've been altered to "I claim".

This book is an annotated version, meaning that supplimentary comments are added. What I noticed unfortunately was the comments are brief, and not well researched. For example, Sartwell writes about how autosuggestion has been improved and documented after Hill's first publication, but has failed to offer the name of a science which studies the nature of the mind and subconscious influence. This science is called Neuro Lingustic Programming or "NLP".

Also, the after-visit with the author sections found on the original copies of the Law of Success are not all included in this republication.

One thing that you MAY be looking for (as I was) was that Sartwell talks about how Hill has changed his views on marriage and The Master Mind. In the original text, Hill stressed that we MUST get married with a woman to receive the full benefits of this principle. However, homosexuality exists, and some people do not wish to get married. Perhaps Hill realized this, considering he now believes that Sex Transmutation (10th Step toward Riches in Think and Grow Rich) will suffice instead of getting married.

What I didn't like about this edition:

The little bookmark tassle in the book itself is poorly made, ie it's obviously just cut off with some sort of machine that frays the ends. Not impressive for an expensive collector's edition. The paper is very thin and will not do well with a highlighter. Sigh.

Also, you will find inconsistencies, such as Matthew Hartwell's introduction claiming that Napoleon Hill wrote a classic called "Keys to Success". Sorry, but Napoleon Hill did NOT write this book; he wrote "Master Key to Riches". "Keys to Success" was a book published by Plume that Matthew Sartwell organized by taking chunks out of Hill's works.

Hope that helps your decision.

Thanks!
