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.)
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".
Lastly, 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 the science which studies the nature of the mind and subconscious influence. This science is called Neuro Lingustic Programming or "NLP".
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. (No problem, Hill now believes that Sex Transmutation (10th Step toward Riches in Think and Grow Rich will suffice.)
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. 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".
Hope that helps your decision.
Thanks!
