Biography & Memoir Business & Economics

The Art of the Deal, Donald Trump’s headline-making 1988 business classic, appears here as a collectible first-edition hardcover. The book distills Trump’s real-estate playbook into punchy, self-styled rules for negotiation and self-promotion, making it a touchstone for students of entrepreneurship and pop-culture history alike.

This copy carries a personal inscription from Tony Schwartz—co-writer credited with shaping the memoir’s brisk voice—adding a layer of interest for researchers and collectors tracking the evolution of the Trump brand. Schwartz’s hand-written note turns an already iconic title into a conversation piece.

Condition is solid overall: the dust jacket shows the expected shelf rubs and a small corner tear, while the boards remain tight and square. Occasional light foxing dots the outer edge of a few leaves, but interior pages are clean and readable throughout, ready for either reference or display.

A cornerstone for anyone curating late-20th-century business, media, or political studies shelves, this inscribed first printing offers a tangible slice of 1980s deal-making lore.
