Reception[edit]
The "Praise" section contains three glowing recommendations, two of them without sources (I added "citation needed" markers) and the third drawn from the dustjacket.
Given that Wikipedia is not a marketing vehicle, I retitled the "Praise" section to a more neutral "Reception". It would be good to expand the citations from reviews to provide a more complete picture of how this book was received. Broader citations might yield a picture of how accurate this book is deemed in terms of historical facts, how it compared with other Carnegie books, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ScribeMonk (talk • contribs) 23:54, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
Anthropodermic bibliopegy[edit]
This is probably the most amazing detail about this book: A portion of the binding in the copy of Dale Carnegie's Lincoln the Unknown that is part of the collection of Temple University's Charles L. Blockson Collection was "taken from the skin of a Negro at a Baltimore Hospital and tanned by the Jewell Belting Company".(Temple University Libraries and Charles L. Blockson, Catalogue of the Charles L. Blockson Afro-American Collection: A Unit of the Temple University Libraries, Temple University Press, 1990, p. 16.
