Business by Donald Trump

Blurb

Trump: The Art of the Deal is a 1987 book by business magnate Donald Trump, that is part memoir and part a business advice book. It reached #1 on the New York Times Bestseller list and held a position in the list for 51 weeks.
It was the first book by Donald Trump. Trump was persuaded to write the book by Conde Nast owner Si Newhouse after the May 1984 issue of the Newhouse magazine GQ sold well, in which Donald appeared on the cover in a story about "Success". The book was co-written by journalist Tony Schwartz and published on November 1, 1987 by Warner Books.
The book was published only several years prior to Trump's financial decline in 1991. Trump's self-promotion, best-selling book and media celebrity status led one commentator to call him "a poster-child for the 'Greed is Good' 1980s". The phrase "Greed is Good" was from the movie Wall Street which was released about 1 month after The Art of the Deal.
