About This Item
New York: Harper and Brothers, 1949. Early printing. Hardcover. Fine/Near fine-. Octavo, 276pp. Code "D-Z" on copyright page indicates a printing date of April 1950, which is within a year of the first printing, and as such among the earliest copies we've seen offered in commerce. A crisp, clean, probably unread copy in the publisher's blue cloth, with ust a touch of rubbing to the board edges; just about fine, with the spine gilt entirely unfaded. The dust jacket is also nicer than usual, just about near fine, with the spine entirely unfaded and no significant tears; some rubbing to corners and spine ends, and an area of scuffing about the size of a penny at the base of the spine, defacing the "PER" in "HARPER." Publisher's $3.50 price intact. First printings of this landmark investment manifesto are extremely scarce, and command healthy five-figure prices. The only one ever to appear at auction out-performed its high estimate. Though not quite perfect, nevertheless a quite handsome early copy of this important work.
Synopsis
The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham, first published in 1949, is a widely acclaimed book on value investing, an investment approach Graham began teaching at Columbia Business School in 1928 and subsequently refined with David Dodd. Famous investor and billionaire Warren Buffett describes it as "by far the best book on investing ever written", a sentiment echoed by other Graham disciples such as Irving Kahn and Walter Schloss.

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
