About this Item
Description:
First edition, second printing. [xii], 725 pp. 8vo. Inscribed by Graham: "To Harry Wanger with best wishes of Benj. Graham Aug. 1935." Few published works of the 20th century have exerted the influence or had as devoted a following as Security Analysis. Prior to its publication, investors often relied on intuition or the character of a business owner to make their decisions. Writing in the wake of the Crash of 1929, Graham and Dodd designed "value-oriented investment," a disciplined, realistic approach to constructing a solid financial portfolio. Popular when it was published, it continues to shape the strategies and the training of financiers. Copies of the first edition are known to appear both in black cloth binding, with "Whittlesey House-McGraw Hill" in gilt at the foot of the spine, as with the present copy, and in burgundy cloth binding, with "McGraw-Hill Book Company" in gilt at the foot of the spine; no priority is assigned. A landmark work, RARE and IMPORTANT, especially inscribed; we trace only three inscribed copies at auction over the past thirty years, and only one of them is inscribed by Graham. Black cloth with blindstamped covers and gilt to spine. Some fading to spine and slight rubbing to corners, very good. Custom half-morocco dropbox. Seller Inventory # 371736
