Reminiscences Of A Stock Operator.

Lefevre, Edwin

Published by George H. Doran Company, New York, 1923

First edition of this Wall Street classic. Octavo, original cloth. From the library of legendary Forbes columnist Joseph D. Goodman, with his signature on the front free endpaper and half-title page. In near fine condition. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. An exceptional example, one of the nicest we have seen and with noted provenance. First published in 1923, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator is the most widely read, highly recommended investment book ever. Generations of readers have found that it has more to teach them about markets and people than years of experience. It tells the thinly disguised biography of Jesse Livermore, a remarkable character who first started speculating in New England bucket shops at the turn of the century. Livermore, who was banned from these shady operations because of his winning ways, soon moved to Wall Street where he made and lost his fortune several times over. What makes this book so valuable are the observations that Lefèvre records about investing, speculating, and the nature of the market itself. "A must-read classic for all investors, whether brand-new or experienced" (William O'Neil). Seller Inventory # 137629
