Not so fast. His first hit was written by him, alright. Then the next book was denied by the publisher, it was so badly written. His last hit Think and Grow Rich was co-written by his wife. Of course we don't know just how much help she provided, but again, there was a book before that what didn't get published because just how bad it was, and that was after a hit when publishers publish just about anything to cash on the fame. The only celebrity Hill bona fide met was Edison, although he kind of tricked him into the meeting, giving him a prize by his publication.
Gotta watch me pee's n que's up in here, lol. sure glad somebody wrote think and grow rich and i stumbled upon it. also liked the paperback size that i could stuff it in the back pocket of my jeans while i was working a couple of teenager jobs. Still have that sweat infused tattered dogeared tome.
That probably happens more often than we know about. Einstein's wife was a physicist as well, and many people have suggested that many of his ideas were originally hers. Apparently, she never received the credit she deserved because she was a woman.

You’d be delighted to know that the unabridged version has a fundamental concept that was edited out in later versions.
lol . . . delight me, what is the fundamental concept that was edited out in later versions? never to old to learn, no? what it is?
Yeah, it's a very big deal. Aside from intellectual theft, it's also grand larceny. Because the Nobel Prize comes with a large cash reward, currently worth about $1.1 MN. And I guess we can dismiss that cute story, that he dreamed about a double helix in his sleep and came up with the theory. Who the F can you trust anymore? You can't trust a priest, politicians or Hollywood and now it's scientists? I guess I need to depend on myself.
mr Sprout, thank you for the heads-up about later vs earlier versions, how do you know all this stuff? check it out, you rock man
