Author William Nickerson did so well with his spare-time money-making that at 42 he was able to realize the popular dream of early retirement from the daily grind on a high income. He explains in detail how he did this in his best-selling sensation, How I Turned $1,000 Into Five Million, out of his firm conviction that the age of opportunity is not dead - that even today the road to fortune still lies open to the average person.
