GALBRAITH’S BEST-SELLING HISTORY OF THE BUILD-UP TO THE WALL STREET CRASH

First edition, first impression. 8vo. ix, [3], 212 pp., graph frontispiece. Original red cloth, spine and front cover lettered in silver, fore and bottom edges untrimmed, dust jacket (small amount of brown marking to pp. 1-4, ink underling to p. 41, otherwise generally internally clean; jacket price clipped and rather worn with some minor creasing and short closed tears to extremities, small loss to tips of spine panel, just about a very good copy overall). Boston, Mifflin Company.

Galbraith's best-selling history of the build-up to the Wall Street Crash, written on the principle that those that don't know history are destined to repeat it. The book is not without its lighter moments, as the Financial Times's reviewer observed: 'Professor Galbraith performed a necessary and useful task in producing a lively and highly readable account of that disaster ... it abounds in witty remarks'.

A difficult book to find in collectible condition.
