<p>This is a hardcover book with a dust jacket price of $5.95 published by Henry Holt and Company New York. First Edition October 1959, Second Printing, October 1959. Library of Congress Catalog Card Number (LCCN) 59-13785. Poor No More is a portrait of the American scene, in business, in the society of New York's feverish cocktail-night club life. Craig Price let nothing stand in his way and he sacrifices all he cares for in his quest for wealth and power. Craig Price, a rural North Carolinian who grew up in poverty evolves into a tycoon who amasses a financial fortune. Likeable at first, he misleads and uses business partners and girlfriends. While Craig Price accumulates more and more wealth and ensures that he is poor no more, his life has no ultimate direction and he has forgotten-if he had ever learned-that it is better to have a good name than great riches. Under accusations of tax evasion charges and under contempt of Congress, his financial world crumbles. Robert Ruark (1915 - 1965) was an American author, syndicated columnist, and big game hunter. Ruark's first bestselling novel was published in 1955. Entitled Something of Value, it describes the Mau Mau Uprising by Kenyan rebels against British rule. The novel drew from the author's personal knowledge and experiences on safari in Africa, and was adapted into a successful 1957 film, Something of Value. Uhuru, a novel with a similar theme, but not intended to be a sequel, was published in 1962. "Uhuru" is the Swahili word for freedom. He had intended to write a final chapter in the series with the working title of A Long View From a Tall Hill, but this never materialized.</p>
