"[A] wise and inspiring autobiography--Walton tells his quietly fantastic story with conviction and makes no bones about his mistakes." -- San Francisco Chronicle "It's a story about entrepreneurship, and risk, and hard work, and knowing where you want to go and being willing to do what it takes to get there. And it's a story about believing in your idea even when maybe some other folks don't, and about sticking to your guns." -- Sam Walton "Here is an extraordinary success story about a man whose empire was built not with smoke and mirrors, but with good old-fashioned elbow grease." -- Detroit Free Press "A sure-fire all-American success story." -- The New York Times Book Review

- e***i (3763)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseIt's difficult to gage the actual condition of a magazine when the seller uses the automatic description ai from ebay. But the one word of 'good' was kind of fitting. And I usually don't buy from sellers that charge such high prices for shipping but the price on the magazine was great, I couldn't pass it up. The seller shipped quickly, but the magazine wasn't supported at all in the packaging. The magazine probably suffered some minimal damage in addition to what was there. I can fix it thoughROCK METAL MAGAZINE (#275807296215)
