First Edition Signed
First edition of this landmark work on Warren Buffett. Octavo, original half cloth, illustrated. Signed by Warren Buffett on the half-title page. Also, inscribed by Roger Lowenstein on the half-title page. Fine in a near fine price-clipped dust jacket. Starting from scratch, simply by picking stocks and companies for investment, Warren Buffett amassed one of the epochal fortunes of the twentieth century--an astounding net worth of $10 billion, and counting. His awesome investment record has made him a cult figure popularly known for his seeming contradictions: a billionaire who has a modest lifestyle, a phenomenally successful investor who eschews the revolving-door trading of modern Wall Street, a brilliant dealmaker who cultivates a homespun aura. Roger Lowenstein draws on three years of unprecedented access to Buffett's family, friends, and colleagues to provide the first definitive, inside account of the life and career of this American original. Buffett explains Buffett's' investment strategy--a long-term philosophy grounded in buying stock in companies that are undervalued on the market and hanging on until their worth invariably surfaces--and shows how it is a reflection of his inner self.

First Edition Signed
First edition of this official Prohibition era manual to the game of contract bridge; warmly inscribed by Warren Buffett to his long-time bridge partner and close personal friend Sharon Osberg. Octavo, original cloth, inscribed by Buffett on the title page, "To Sharon - This was the nursery book my mother read to me at age 1. Unfortunately she emphasized Chapter 17. Love, Warren." Sharon Osberg is a close friend of both Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, and has coached both on the game of bridge, for which she has won several championships and awards. Chapter 17, which Buffett here refers to, discusses the subject of overbidding and how it can be either a disastrous move or a smart tactic. In very good condition. An exceptional association. From the library of Sharon Osberg. Warren Buffett has earned a reputation as a die-hard bridge player, often playing competitively with Sharon Osberg and Bill Gates. He has likened the game to investing, both of which require making intelligent decisions based on available information and probabilities. "[Bridge] has got to be the best intellectual exercise out there. You're seeing through new situations every ten minutes.In the stock market you don't base your decisions on what the market is doing, but on what you think is rational.Bridge is about weighing gain/loss ratios. You're doing calculations all the time" (Forbes, Buffett on Bridge). In 2006, Buffett began sponsoring his own biannual tournament, the Buffett Cup, which is played every other September.
