How to Succeed In Business Without Really Trying: The Dastard's Guide to Fame and Fortune (A Cedar Book No. 30). By SHEPHERD MEAD, The World's Work, Ltd., Kingswood Surrey, 1955.
 
Humor
Vintage from the 1950s
 
A humorous 1952 book by Shepherd Mead. It inspired a successful 1961 musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, which was made into a movie in 1967. 
 
The book is a satire of an instructional manual, very similar in form and subject matter to Stephen Potter's
Gamesmanship. How to Succeed satirizes office life in the United States in the guise of a self-help book. Its subtitle is "The Dastard's Guide to Fame and Fortune".
 
Secure text block with some corner creases and a creased spine. Softcover book with 159 pages.
