Lot Description
[ECONOMICS]. GRAHAM, Benjamin (1894-1976) and David L. DODD (1895-1988). Security Analysis. Principles and Technique. New York and London: Whittlesey House, McGraw-Hill, 1934.
8vo. Half-title, a few charts and diagrams. Original blind-ruled cloth, spine gilt-lettered (a touch of wear to corners and spine ends, spine slightly faded); quarter green morocco folding case gilt.
FIRST EDITION, second printing, INSCRIBED BY BENJAMIN GRAHAM: “To Harry Wanger with best wishes of Benj. Graham Aug.1935.” Any impression of the first edition of this influential book on investing is rare; it has been continuously in print since its first publication. Prior to its publication, investors often relied on their intuition; Graham and Dodd's "value-oriented investment" became a disciplined approach to building a financial portfolio.
INSCRIBED COPIES OF THIS INFLUENTIAL WORK ARE RARE AT AUCTION: we trace only three inscribed copies in the last 30 years, including only one other copy of the work inscribed by Graham.
