    Melvin Powers

    Melvin Powers (1922-2013) was an American author and book publisher, best known for his line of self-help and inspirational books. Born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, he began his own mail-order business at age 16, selling books on the subject of chess and gradually added new titles and new subjects. He purchased books from publishers at wholesale and sold them for retail, adding to each order a flyer advertising the other titles he had currently available. With the success of his first venture into publishing in 1949—his own book, Hypnotism Revealed—Powers started Wilshire Book Company in Los Angeles, California. His first big publishing success came in the early 1960s when he purchased the paperback rights to Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and published it in a trade paperback format—a larger size than the mass market paperbacks that fit into racks in supermarkets and drugstores. An even bigger success was his publication of the paperback edition of Psycho-Cybernetics by Dr. Maxwell Maltz, which became a multi-million bestseller. His book How to Get Rich in Mail Order, published in 1980, was an all-time bestseller on the subject and is considered the bible of the mail-order industry. He has taught seminars on mail-order techniques at community colleges throughout the Los Angeles area. When songwriter Tommy Boyce, best known for writing songs for The Monkees, entered his office with a manuscript called “How to Write a Hit Song and Sell It,” Powers decided to try his hand at songwriting. With personal coaching from Boyce, and classes in composition and lyrics at UCLA, Powers co-wrote some songs with Boyce that made it onto the country and western charts. He passed away in 2013.
