I have discovered a book previously owned by Harding Lawrence, former
president and CEO of Braniff airlines. It is Napoleon Hill's Think and
Grow Rich. It was given to Harding Lawrence by a man named John Force.
It was inscribed to him on October 20, 1947 and there is a letter to
him from Force stating that he thinks the book is excellent and that
all traffic men should read it, and that he hopes that Harding gets
rich. The letter, interestingly, is written on the back of a bill of
sale for an aircraft. I have scans of the book and the inscription and
the letter. I placed the book for sale on eBay before I knew who
Harding Lawrence was. There are still several days left to the
auction, however, and I wanted to give anyone interested in Braniff
history in particular or airline history in general a chance to bid. I
have been selling these books that I find at estate sales to make a
little extra money for my family, but I also have a strong interest in
their preservation. The bidding is still low and I think that anyone
interested could probably get this item for a good price.

Thank you for your attention.
