John V. Dunlap
A mysterious early-20th-century advice writer remembered for How to Make Money, a book that starts like a practical guide and turns into something far stranger. Very little is firmly documented about the person behind the name, which only adds to the book’s odd appeal.

About the author
John V. Dunlap is known from surviving book records as the author of How to Make Money. Major catalog and publisher pages confirm the work is associated with this name, but they offer little reliable biographical detail beyond the attribution itself.
That scarcity makes Dunlap an unusual figure in print history: an author whose book remains easier to trace than the life behind it. In the absence of solid, verifiable personal information, it’s safest to describe Dunlap as an obscure author connected primarily with this one curious title rather than to repeat uncertain claims.
For listeners, that mystery can be part of the interest. The name carries the feel of a bygone self-help era, while the surviving record suggests a writer who is still best approached through the strange, memorable book left behind.
