Robert Frank, CNBC; Mystery around top-ranked Rockefeller book grows as university publisher denies involvement
"The mystery around a top-selling Amazon book attributed to John D. Rockefeller has grown to include a university publisher, which denies any involvement in the book despite being listed as its publisher.
CNBC began raising questions last month about the authenticity of “The 38 Letters from J.D. Rockefeller to his son: Perspective, Ideology and Wisdom,” a purported collection of letters by John D. Rockefeller Sr. sold on Amazon,Barnes & Noble and other sites.
The mysterious origin of “The 38 Letters” raises a host of questions about publishing and the surge in wealth-help books...
“The authenticity of the book ‘The 38 Letters from J.D. Rockefeller to his Son’ is questionable,” the Archive center told CNBC in a statement.
Now caught in the confusion is OpenStax, the nonprofit publisher of open educational resources at Rice University, which is listed as the book’s publisher in some printings.
“We are not the publisher of this title,” a spokesperson for OpenStax told CNBC in a statement, adding that the publisher is “investigating the situation to protect our brand and ensure accurate information.”"
