5 7/8 X 8 1/4 Inches. 488 [1] PP. Original illustrated red cloth binding. Barnum's now classic book on financial freedom along with inspirational short biographies of successful politicians and businessmen of the day. SIGNED BY BARNUM ON A LAID-IN GIFT CARD AS SHOWN. Elaborate gilt decoration to cover and spine in near perfect condition. Although Barnum produced a few books on "financial freedom" during his lifetime, Dollars and Sense was the book that brought it all together in one concise volume. Includes Barnum's frank opinions on the power of a positive attitude, the use of debt and the banking industry in general. Includes contributions by Henry Hunt and Seldon Hopkins. A few scuffs to covers. An incredible example that is rarely found in this condition.

Back in Time is a member of the Florida Antiquarian Booksellers Association (FABA) as well as the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America (ABAA).
