In 1991, Warner Books purchased the paperback rights to the book and re-released it as The Art of Survival. The photograph used for the book's cover was originally taken by Michael O'Brien for an article of Fortune magazine published on September 11, 1989. The photograph was later installed at the National Portrait Gallery after Trump was elected the 45th president of the United States.[1][2] SynopsisThe book serves as a continuation and response to The Art of the Deal. In the introduction to the book, Trump wrote "Looking back on it, I see that writing The Art of the Deal was one of the most satisfying and fulfilling experiences of my life."[3] Trump also commented on the debt that he faced after writing The Art of the Deal,[4] as well as the problematic relationship of his then-wife Ivana Trump,[5] claiming that his relationship with Marla Maples was "not the cause of the trouble between Ivana and me".[6] Writing and publicationTrump wrote the book with Charles Leerhsen, who also worked as a senior writer for Newsweek at the time. Trump had considered naming the book Everybody Hates a Winner, stating that he sensed "a lot of jealousy and hostility from many people I do business with or see socially."[5] As the book was being written, Trump was unsure if he would include details regarding his troubled marriage to Ivana Trump.[6] Peter Osnos, the book's editor, said in June 1990 that the book was being updated repeatedly.[6] Editing of the book was completed on July 16, 1990. The book had initially been scheduled for release in October 1990, but was instead released in August 1990, because of the declining condition of Trump's finances and his separation from Ivana Trump.[7] Because of the success of The Art of the Deal, Random House published and distributed approximately 500,000 copies of Surviving at the Top.[11] After the book's release, Trump stated that it was "a transitional book," and that his next book "will be the real story, describing my comeback and the success of it all."[11] Warner Books paid Random House nearly $1 million for the paperback rights. Warner Books released the paperback version in July 1991, with a new title: The Art of Survival. Laurence Kirshbaum, the then-president of Warner Books, said, "We really thought 'The Art of Survival' was a more apt representation of what has happened in Trump's career recently." A new introduction was written by Trump for the paperback version.[8]ReceptionJohn Rothchild, writing for the Los Angeles Times, noted the different writing styles between Trump's first two books due to the change in Trump's ghostwriter. Rothchild also commented that Trump featured more pictures of himself with celebrities than his actual buildings.[9] Meanwhile, Gary Bells of Fortune commented that Trump "taking the blame for mistakes is just not his style."[10] Michael Lewis, writing for The New York Times, criticized Surviving at the Top, believing that the book "is a portrait of an ego gone haywire".[11]The book spent seven weeks on the New York Times Best Seller list, including two weeks at the number one spot. Trump's previous book, The Art of the Deal, had spent 48 weeks on the list.[12] In October 1990, Trump stated that Random House expected to sell between 200,000 and 250,000 copies of the book, out of the 500,000 copies.[12] In January 2017, Michael Kranish of The Washington Post contrasted Trump's advice in Surviving at the Top to his later book, Think Like a Billionaire, and commented "to read Trump’s books is to find a man of contradiction."[13] References1. ^{{cite news|last1=Harlan|first1=Becky|title=National Portrait Gallery Installs Photo Of President-Elect Trump|url=https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/01/13/509734172/national-portrait-gallery-installs-photo-of-president-elect-trump|accessdate=January 17, 2017|work=NPR.org|date=January 13, 2017}} {{Trump media}}{{Donald Trump|state=expanded}}2. ^{{cite news|last1=McGraw|first1=Meridith|title=Trump Photograph Installed at the National Portrait Gallery|url=http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-photograph-installed-national-portrait-gallery/story?id=44759345|accessdate=January 17, 2017|work=ABC News|date=January 16, 2017}} 3. ^{{cite news|last1=Gallagher|first1=Patrick W.|title=Donald Trump’s New Deal|url=http://review.gawker.com/donald-trump-s-new-deal-1741989003|accessdate=January 19, 2017|work=Gawker|date=January 19, 2017}} 4. ^{{cite news|last1=Rosenthal|first1=Max|title=Donald Trump perfectly explains why he doesn't have a presidential temperament|url=https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/08/trump-files-donald-perfectly-explains-why-he-doesnt-have-presidential-temperament|accessdate=January 19, 2017|work=Mother Jones|date=August 30, 2016|language=en}} 5. ^{{cite news|last=Norris|first=Floyd|title=Whom Trump Likes (Himself) and Hates (Many)|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1990/08/22/arts/whom-trump-likes-himself-and-hates-many-floyd-norris.html|accessdate=January 18, 2017|work=The New York Times|date=August 22, 1990}} 6. ^1 {{cite news|last=Cohen|first=Roger|title=August Publication for Trump Book|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1990/06/19/business/the-media-business-august-publication-for-trump-book.html|accessdate=January 18, 2017|work=The New York Times|date=June 19, 1990}} 7. ^1 {{cite news|last=McDowell|first=Edwin|title=In New Book, Trump Is on the Attack|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1990/08/15/books/in-new-book-trump-is-on-the-attack.html|accessdate=January 18, 2017|work=The New York Times|date=August 15, 1990}} 8. ^{{cite news|last=Cohen|first=Roger|title=A Title Change|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1991/07/17/books/book-notes-501391.html|accessdate=January 18, 2017|work=The New York Times|date=July 17, 1991}} 9. ^{{cite news|last1=Rothchild|first1=John|title=The Taj Mahal of Debt : TRUMP Surviving at the Top by Donald J.
