Autographed Trump Book

Check out autographed books by Donald Trump and take a tour of Manhattan. One night in a hotel and airfare within the continential United States. Come to New York and see Trump Towers, Times Square, and waltz down Park Avenue.

In Trump: How To Get Rich, Trump tells all-about the lessons learned from The Apprentice , his real estate empire, his position as head of the 20,000-member Trump Organization, and his most important role, as a father who has successfully taught his children the value of money and hard work. Trump signed gifts and books at the Barnes and Noble flagship store across the street from ABC studios near Central Park.

Leonard Riggio, the Barnes and Noble store chairman, began his bookselling career while attending New York University in the early 1960s. Working as a clerk in the university bookstore, he became convinced that he could do a better job serving students, and he opened a competing store of his own. With a small investment, Mr. Riggio established the Student Book Exchange (SBX) in Manhattan's Greenwich Village in 1965. The store quickly became one of New York's finest bookstores, known for its knowledgeable staff, wide selection and great service.

By the 1970s, Mr. Riggio's thriving business, which included six other college bookstores, acquired the flagship Barnes & Noble trade name and flagship bookstore in Manhattan, which had fallen into decline. Within a few years, Mr. Riggio transformed the Fifth Avenue store into "The World's Largest Bookstore," with 150,000 textbook and trade titles. Mr. Riggio's commitment to students continues today through Barnes n Noble College Booksellers, a privately held company that operates more than 500 stores on college and university campuses across the United States and in Canada.
