Listing is for a first edition printing (2008) of "Extraordinary Lives: Members Since 1958," by the American Express Company with foreword by Susan Orlean. DESCRIPTION: This is a book of extraordinary stories: tales of courage, of compassion, of character. Stories about the pursuit of dreams and the joy of creative expression, about perseverance and service to others. Stories of abiding loyalty - to family and friends, to deeply held values, to community, to country. Above all, they are stories about lives exceedingly well lived. They are stories of American Express. In 1958, the American Express Card was introduced. It helped bring about a revolution in the way people paid for goods and services the world over, and it changed our company forever. It seemed the most fitting way to honor this milestone would be to pay tribute to those Cardmembers who have been with us from the beginning. After all, it is you - our earliest adopters - who launched the Card's 50-year success story. The charter members are a truly remarkable group. While we cannot tell all of their stories here, we believe this collection reflects the panorama of their individual accomplishments, as well as some of the life experiences they share.The stores inside are told by some of the finest writers and illustrators practicing their art today. To all of our Cardmembers since 1958, this is our gift to you. CONDITION: Pre-owned very good condition. Slight damage/minor ripping on dust jacket; book cover, pages, binding are all in excellent condition. See pictures for condition details.
