Rich Dad's
Guide to Becoming Rich...
Without Cutting up Your Credit Cards
by Robert T. Kiyosaki & Sharon Lechter
Time Warner Books
EBook Price: $9.95
Formats: Glassbook and Microsoft Reader |
"Who wants to be a millionaire? #1 bestselling authors Robert Kiyosaki and
Sharon Lechter know that the answer is: everyone. In their bestselling books
Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Cashflow Quadrant, and Rich
Dad's Guide to Investing, they outlined what anyone can do to become
rich. Now, in their first eBook, Kiyosaki and Lechter distill the wisdom
of their Rich Dad books into a motivational guide to making money. As a
young man, Kiyosaki had two mentors: his father, a highly educated professional
who could not manage his money, and his friend's father, a man with less
formal education but serious business acumen. Kiyosaki shows how the lessons
he learned from his "rich dad"--some unconventional and unexpected--are
the foundations of success. With Rich Dad's Guide to Becoming
Rich... Without Cutting up Your Credit Cards, Kiyosaki and Lechter explain
why simply being cheap is not the answer to financial problems--it only
makes you a cheap person. Instead, they show how building assets is the
key to a prosperous future."

Orpheus Emerged
by Jack Kerouac

Formats: Glassbook and Microsoft Reader |

"Orpheus Emerged
is the first full-length work of fiction to be published since Jack Kerouac's
death over thirty years ago. When Kerouac died in 1969, a trove of unpublished
writings were stowed away, and kept from the light of public scrutiny until
the early 1990s, when a new executor began unearthing some of the hidden
treasures of Kerouac's early writing life. The novella, Orpheus Emerged,
has been kept under wraps until now. Completed in 1945, when Kerouac was
23 and signed his work "John," the characters in Orpheus Emerged
are based upon the new friendships that Kerouac was forming with Ginsberg,
Burroughs, Lucien Carr, and others. The tale reveals Kerouac formulating
the very ideas that defined the Beat Generation and continue to influence
millions." *
Glassbook Edition of Orpheus Emerged includes:
- Reader interactivity (including hypertext and weblinks)
- Streaming audio and video
- Never-before-published excerpts from Kerouac's journals
- Rare photographs
- Illustrated, hypertext timeline
