About the author
Elbert Hubbard was born in 1859 in Bloomington, Illinois, and never received more than a grade-school education. A self-made man in many respects, Hubbard filled in the gaps in his knowledge through voracious reading, a passion which became manifest in the founding of the Roycroft Shop, a publishing house specializing in deluxe bindings. He wrote a series of 182 biographies under the series title Little Journeys to Homes of the Great and also published two magazines, The Philistine and The Fra, producing much of the content himself. Elbert Hubbard and his wife, Alice, were traveling to England on the Lusitania and went down with the ship when it was struck by a German torpedo on May 7th, 1915.
Charles E. ?Tremendous? Jones is a publisher and motivator who has gained a reputation as an inspirational humorist and book evangelist. He is the author of "Life is Tremendous?7 Laws of Leadership," with more than 2,000,000 copies in print in twelve languages. Two of his speeches, "The Price of Leadership" and "Where Does Leadership Begin?" have been enjoyed by millions. Charles E. Jones was born in Alabama and grew up in Pennsylvania. He and his wife Gloria now reside in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania and have six children, six grandchildren, and two great grandchildren. For more than fifty years his purpose and passion has been exciting people to read, think, and share. In 2002 he received the Doctor of Humane Letters from the Central Pennsylvania College and in 2003 their new library was named the Charles ?T? Jones Leadership Library in recognition of his love for reading and sharing great books.
