Reprints of the works of Dr. Delmer Eugene Croft
Dr. Delmer Eugene Croft was the Mark Twain of early 20th Century Motivational literature. He peppered his self-help booklets with humorous sayings and illustrations.
These are facsimile reprints of the original editions. The author published least seven short books between 1915-1922. He worked and printed his books out of New Haven, Connecticut. We have written to and obtained from the New Haven Historical Society a binder of information on Croft and had planned make some of it available here and on Wikipedia in the months to come. The problem is that there is one book that Croft wrote that bordered too far away from our stance about being wary on so-called "Spiritual Experience." None of his other books, even though some of them may seem to at first glance, are in any way heretical to a basic Judao-Christian worldview. This one book, which we refuse to reprint, bordered too closely on communicating to the spirits of deceased relatives.
Other than this, Croft is an excellent find in motivational and even wisdom literature. His books touch on many subjects, and are unlike other more popular "New Thought" early 20th Century thinkers. In fact, he is probably one of the closest in the Judeo-Christian frame of thought in the other books, often mentioning the Bible.
All booklets are reprinted with cardstock covers.
Each booklet is $7 postage paid, except "Laughing it Through," which is $9 postage page because of its length (64 pages). You may also buy our reprints at Amazon.com.
