Hardcover. Condition: Fair / Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dustjacket. One inch thick. This is a difficult book to describe as it appears to be a bound together set of short plays (some one act plays even) - by the looks of the paper and printing it looks early 19th century. I have photographed all the title pages and uploaded them as photographs. I can supply pictures of the title pages I didn't have room to upload on this listing. The hardback binding comprises a plain leather(?) spine which is rubbed, scratched and has pieces missing to the top - the spine-junctions are a darker brown which suggests the spine has been sun-faded to a chipped, lighter brown. There is a short piece of scribble to top right of front board. The page-edges are rough-cut and browned and the page-margins are lightly browned but are clean and tidy. Amongst the plays are unrelated contents pages and some reviews of actors and there are rather crudely coloured-in plates.

Scattered pencil marginalia; paper-clip stain to upper margin of title page, still a quite nice example. A rather jubilant guide to playing the stock market for the common investor, configured as a "game" in which the reader has inherited $10,000 from an uncle they have never seen, with the caveat that they will inherit the uncle's entire million-dollar estate if they can increase the $10,000 to $15,000 with a week's judicious trading. "The Wall Street Game as it is played in this book, is so simple that anyone can play it without technical knowledge of the market.as in real Wall Street, luck plays a prominent part. But you will have to use common-sense in buying and selling stocks or you will not win the million under your Uncle's will."
