{"product_id":"get-rich-quick-wallingford-george-randolph-chester-9781596056039","title":"Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford","description":"The arrival of Mrs. Wallingford set upon a much higher plane her husband's already well-established reputation as a capitalist of illimitable resources... \"She is a stunner,\" [Doctor Feldmeyer] declared, with the faintest suggestion of a smirk, \"and carries herself like a queen. She wears a fur coat that cost not less than six or seven hundred dollars, and not a woman in this town has such diamonds...\" -from Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford Part of Chester's popular fictional series about a scheming industrialist, this satirical novel, \"a cheerful account of the rise and fall of an American Business Buccaneer,\" relates the business crimes and misdemeanors of J. Rufus Wallingford, who inhabits a world wherein a good stomach for strong drink is worth thousands of dollars, philanthropy and profit are intimately intertwined, and preying upon widows and orphans is all in a day's work. First published in 1908, this wickedly funny work is just as pointed today as it was a century ago. American journalist and novelist GEORGE RANDOLPH CHESTER (1869-1924) was a regular contributor to Collier's and Everybody's Magazine. He is also the author of Five Thousand an Hour: How Johnny Gamble Won the Heiress and The Early Bird: A Business Man's Love Story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Randolph Chester\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1596056037\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781596056039\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cosimo Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 460\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 1.02d","brand":"George Randolph Chester","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485638177023,"sku":"9781596056039","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eb71a36f-13ca-45d8-83b6-b025bfb5fc89.jpg?v=1778050558","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/get-rich-quick-wallingford-george-randolph-chester-9781596056039","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
