About This Item
London: Hamish Hamilton, 1955. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. pp: 186. FIRST BRITISH EDITION. Light brown dust jacket with lettering in red. Blue cloth covered boards. The first edition with 'First published in Great Britain, 1955'. 'A striking study of the greatest speculative boom in history and of the catastrophe which followed it.' (subtitle). The author wrote the book as a warning about the dangers of an unrestrained speculative mood without proper government oversight. This is a very good copy with the book plate of a previous owner on the front paste down. The jacket has about a half-inch chipped from the base of the spine, a lesser amount chipped at the head of the spine, edge wear, and the remains of a name sticker at the top of the front panel. The jacket is now protected with a Brodart cover.
