An Extraordinary Rarity:
Graham and Dodd's Security Analysis

First edition, first issue

Scarce first edition, first issue of Graham and Dodd's Security Analysis

"An astonishingly large portion of those trading common stocks don’t appear to know—in polite terms—one part of their anatomy from another." 

                 —Benjamin Graham


Of profound influence, Graham and Dodd’s Security Analysis formed the foundation of a new discipline, introducing to the financial world the now-essential concepts of security analysis, fundamental analysis, and value investing. Graham and Dodd transformed investing from what was often a purely speculative business with decisions based on misinformation, reaction, and emotion to a legitimate science based on systematic reason, logic, and analysis.
Graham, Benjamin, and Dodd, David L. Security Analysis. New York: Whittlesey House (McGraw Hill), 1934. Octavo, original black cloth with gilt-stamped spine; housed in custom clamshell box. $30,000.

The first edition, first impression of Security Analysis is of legendary rarity. A fine copy.
