Hardcover. Hardcover. Presentation Copy Inscribed by the Author. Number 246 on 600 copies. Written after WWI, this book addresses the history and present state of banks with a focus on the Bank of England. Largely a reaction to the financial crisis after WWI, the author boldly states: "Events of recent years have emphasized the urgent need of a new financial technique specially adapted to new economic conditions. A great deal of past economic disorder was caused by the inherent weaknesses in the old structure. This volume will destroy the economic fallacies universally current, and for the first time throw enlightenment on the subject, presenting at the same time a practical and comprehensive solution to the problem in which the future of every country in the world is involved" (introduction). Includes chapters on the origin of the bank of England Act, psychology of fixed income owners, meaning of a bank balance, Ostrers's gold and paper standards, relationship between currencies, illogical taxation, and more. Red cloth covered boards with gilt title to front board and to spine. Slight fading to spine. Inscription to front free end page dated August 1932. Light foxing to end pages. Else is clean and bright. Untrimmed page edges. 142 pages. English History. ENGHIST02/0530.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover, Original scarlet cloth with gilt lettering to spine and cover, deckle edges, No. 557 of 600 Limited First Edition, 1932. Book Condition: Good, soil, tanning and wrinkling to edges, corners bumped, spine straight, binding a bit loose, hinges intact, soil to cover and spine, some other cosmetic blemishes to cover and spine (see photo). No dust jacket. From Prefatory Note: The contents of this book should help to adjust and alleviate the economic distress and the apparent maldistribution of income which has been necessarily accepted by the majority as a permanent institution. Up to the present time no sufficient scientific or logical reason has been advanced to support the general dissatisfaction with the existing system. This work supplies the key to the economic riddle. Collectible First Edition, 142 Pages.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. First Edition. 78 pages (complete). Signed by Isidore Ostrer on the back page (dated Nov 1958). On the same page, by another hand, an inscription of some verse dated 10th Sept. 1975 which was just a few after Ostrer's death. In general fair, decent condition. Ostrer was a financier of some considerable success - although his success was a mystery to all members of his family. His wealth, however, enabled him to found and become president of The Gaumont British Picture Corporation (he later sold this to Rank). He also backed Logie Baird. In more whimsical ways he was indulged by Claridges by adjusting the lighting in the Restaurant to his taste and his heavy handed blue rinse was ignored. His daughter, Pamela (who was quarrelsome after her father's death), married James Mason. Marbled boards and cloth spine. The covers are worn, marked and scuffed. The spine is marked from handling and storage. Both boards and spine are sound and secure. Within, the frontis and end pages are foxed. The contents are very occasionally flecked with contents. However, the pages are mild, gentle, clear, tidy and generous. fk. Our orders are shipped using tracked courier delivery services. Signed.
