One of the most fascinating and instructive books on the stock market ever written, packed with timely and valuable lessons for today's investor. Considered a must-read by most anyone involved in the financial community. Despite the book's age, it continues to offer insights into the art of trading and speculation.

Timeless insights found within these pages have inspired countless generations of investors and made this one of the foremost investment books of all time. Although most modern-day investors and traders are familiar with this classic, many do not know that Reminiscences of a Stock Operator first appeared in the 1920s as a series of articles and illustrations in The Saturday Evening Post. LeFèvre also wrote "The Making of a Stockbroker," "Wall Street Stories," among others. 6" x 8 7/8" design. 308 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
