56968 or SZBlog

I always wanted to read this book and got one free
also received an email of two ticket value $465 to attend the seminar

This is NOT excess, old or damaged stock!
This is NOT an out-of-print book (It's available in every major bookstore for RRP$32.95)
And this is NOT a marketing device with no real content!

This book IS the collective experience of 504 of the world's wealthiest people of all time. Over history this book
has created more millionaires than any other book ever written, and thus has been dubbed "The Millionaires Bible".

Free Postage is only available once per household, additional claims at the same address will need to pay $6.95 postage

No thanks. Note: this is not technically a freebie because of the $6.95 shipping cost.

You can read the whole book online at Google Books:

  It's free postage for the first copy to a household.
  
  However, you need a promotional code to get it!? ishe do you have the promo code, otherwise this is useless!?

    Oh right. I take that back.
    
    Also a cursory search of the PDF file on Google shows hundreds of places where you can download the book for free.
    It's listed under Creative Commons License.
    
    Save a few trees and get the PDF version.

    Hi Carlenet,
    i just edit my post with promotional code
    
    Cheers

      Ta, I googled and found it as well. :)
      
      EDIT - Whoever is my neg stalker…get a life!

  While you can read it online through Google books, I think this is a great freebie for getting a hard copy of this book.
carlenet on 03/08/2010 - 11:25 ¶

Promo code - 56968 works.

I've downloaded it for myself, however, I'm going to give the physical copy to my Dad.
Mikinoz on 03/08/2010 - 11:25 ¶

Wow free shipping for first one , why would you want a second one per household interesting
- carlenet on 03/08/2010 - 11:26 ¶
  
  Redundant as the above was edited. :)

carlenet on 03/08/2010 - 11:28 ¶

Also you don't need to put any phone numbers in, so I'd advise you not to otherwise I think you'll be hassled to attend a seminar!?
- ZaFrOoNaLdO on 03/08/2010 - 14:34 ¶
  
  hmm.. i entered mine. bcos i saw an asterisk beside mobile, so I thought if I didnt put I will get an error. Should have tried without putting it in! zzzz…
rodtp on 03/08/2010 - 11:29 ¶

  It's a very old book, published in 1937 during the Great Depression.
  
  It's now under the Creative Commons license, which is why it's free. I'm surprised Gutenberg doesn't have this book archived, seeing as the author died ages ago.

The site is struggling with all the requests…
ishe on 03/08/2010 - 11:35 ¶

i just wondering if anyone have gone to any free conference or seminar
what do you do there usually? i kind of thinking to give it a go
as they claimed in the web they will not make us stand or something like that… no gimmicks, no catch
and there will be a chance to win one of 38 of 42" plasma TV :P

" Now, if you’re a little bit apprehensive that this will be a Ra-Ra, Hype ‘em up, motivational type seminar, we’ll don’t worry, it’s not. This event was built by Australians for Australians.

So whilst I can promise you we’ll have a lot of fun, and we do hope you get motivated by the huge amount of information we cram in, I want to offer you my ‘No-Hype-No-Hug guarantee’… and here it is.

“I personally won’t make anyone stand on their chair and cheer, clap, dance, hoot or holler… and I definitely won’t make you hug anyone! If I do, I promise to sing the Australian National Anthem unaccompanied on stage, by myself… and let me tell you, there’s little chance of that happening!

So there you have it, in writing - no hype, no hugs guaranteed! I won't embarrass you like that."

FYI. Comments from the last time the book was offered http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/25762
- scrimshaw on 03/08/2010 - 11:40 ¶
  
  In other words this deal is a dupe?
  - carlenet on 03/08/2010 - 11:41 ¶
    
    Not entirely…last time you had to pay postage.
  - ishe on 03/08/2010 - 11:43 ¶
    
    its not a dupe… the previous one was a free book + shipping cost = $6.95
    - scrimshaw on 03/08/2010 - 11:47 ¶
      
      righto. What exactly do they gain from giving away books for free? (Your personal details?) They still have to pay for shipping costs..
      - frinik on 04/08/2010 - 17:41 ¶
        
        they try get you to the conferences….then its all about the up sell

From Wikipedia : "Think and Grow Rich is a motivational personal development and self-help book written by Napoleon Hill (regarded as one of the great writers on success) and inspired by a suggestion from Scottish-American businessman Andrew Carnegie. It was first published in 1937 during the Great Depression. It remains the biggest seller of Napoleon Hill's books - a perennial best-seller after 70 years (Business Week Magazine's Best-Seller List ranked Think and Grow Rich as the sixth best-selling paperback business book 70 years after it was first published). Think and Grow Rich is listed in John C. Maxwell's A Lifetime "Must Read" Books List"

One of the best freebies I get through OzBargain.

hickman120 on 03/08/2010 - 12:41 ¶

I've heard this book mentioned numerous times by well known entrepeneurs, so will be definitely getting in on this one. Granted, you can download most books online (through legal means or otherwise) but it's always prefferable to get a hard copy, especially if it comes absolutely free.

Only problem is that the site's not loading for me at all!
rack on 03/08/2010 - 13:01 ¶

can someone update the title - site down or something

So it's a book about 504 who themselves wrote "How to get rich" book, except they didn't give it away for free (which is why this author isn't rich).

When audible had its free audiobook giveaway on here, I got this same book in audio, and i downloaded the PDF ages ago, never ended up reading either though.. maybe if I get the hardcopy i'll actually read it.

Email from Stuart Zadel -

"Congratulations!…

Your free copy of the original "Think and Grow Rich" book will be sent to you within 5 business days.

I really hope you enjoy reading it.

Please Note:

Ordinarily we would ship well before the time mentioned above (same-day in fact!) - However due to a very rapid influx of orders (thanks OzBargainers :-) ! ) it may actually take us close to the full 5 business days before your book leaves our office!

Thank you for your understanding, we hope you enjoy the book and there will be some special bonuses in there for you as well…"

frinik on 04/08/2010 - 17:52 ¶

I got this a while ago and have read through a few chapters, whats surprising is how similar the content is to the Law of Attraction. If you havent heard of the Law of Attraction go look it up (there might be some vids on youtube), there was a big kerfuffle about it on ACA. The basis of the content is, if you want something enough, it will happen, even if you have to go to the ends of the earth to make it so. Its a good way to live your life being all positive, optimistic and wanting riches, but if its a guide you're looking for, it probably isnt for you. A good read never the less.
ps. after i got the book i started getting their spam ;)
