About This Item
New York & London: Harper & Brothers, 1930. First edition. Hardcover. Good. 12mo, 338 pages, dark blue cloth, some underlining
"The real purpose of this special volume is to set forth a method of investing which can be used at all times, no matter what the outlook for business and the markets - Preface." In September 1929, Babson predicted a severe stock market crash - which, of course, happened a month later. He also instigated the first college-level Business course, at MIT. Babson wrote dozens of books on economics and society, The Harper's printing code, "F-E", identifies this as June, 1930. Scarce thus.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
