Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The American Legion Monthly
American Legion · 1929
34/100
👎 Skip It
This one's really a 1920s veterans' magazine, not a self-help book, so there's no single lesson to take home from it. It's a neat historical window into WWI-era Legion life if old periodicals interest you, but it doesn't deliver what the self-help shelf promises. I'd skip this one if you're after practical guidance.
