That's how Hubert Howe Bancroft described his monumental 10-volume set of books when it was published in 1896.
Produced in a very limited edition and available only to the wealthiest families and individuals around the world, this incredible set explores the wealthiest individuals, institutions, religious foundations and nations that have built great wealth.
Tracing the creation, acquisition and movement of wealth from the earliest civilizations to the dawn of the 20th Century, The Book of Wealth analyzes what the wealthy did and how they did it.
You may wonder, "How can a set of books published more than 100 years ago still be relevant today?"
You've no doubt heard this before — "Knowledge is Power."
The ten volumes contain accumulated insights and knowledge going back thousands of years about money, wealth, and riches.
When originally published in 1896, the set sold for as much as $2,500 (worth nearly $100,000 in today's money) — affordable only to families like the Vanderbilts, Rockefellers and Carnegies.
Now, over 120 years later, you have the opportunity to access this ancient wisdom. Study their methods. Learn their secrets.
We've republished the complete 10-volume set as a "Popular Edition" paperback series including every word from the rare originals, along with dozens of the original illustrations.
