Item description from seller

First Edition. Hardcover. 9 1/4" X 6 3/8". ix, 347pp. Rather heavy wear to original, unclipped dust jacket, with open tears to corners and to head and tail of spine, neat tears to edges and folds, sunning to spine, dust soiling, to front panel, and small stain to rear panel. Bound in gray cloth over boards, upper board and spine lettered in gilt over red. Mild wear to binding, with bumping to corners and rubbing to extremities. Hard bumping to top corner of textblock, with crease to many pages. Light foxing to endpapers. Occasional dogearing and annotations to pages throughout. Psychological Analysis of Economic Behavior is a landmark interdisciplinary work between psychology and economics by psychologist George Katona (1901-1981), an early advocate of the application of psychological principles to macroeconomics, an influential scholar in the later development of behavioral economics, and and the deviser of the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index, which, counter to professional opinion at the time, predicted the post-World War II boom in the United States. This 1951 first edition comes from the collection of "The Expert on Experts," Florida State University cognitive psychologist Anders Ericsson (1947-2020), the globally recognized researcher in the field of performance studies and the psychological nature of expertise whose work Malcolm Gladwell popularized in his bestselling book Outliers.

Store description

Underground Books, ABAA is an online rare and antiquarian bookshop, founded in 2011 as a brick and mortar general bookstore of the same name in downtown Carrollton, Georgia, which is now operated by out former store manager as The Underground Bookshop. Co-owners Josh Niesse and Megan Bell met in 2011, just 10 days or so after Josh opened the doors of Underground Books, literally underground, several steps below street level in a 100-year-old basement in our historic downtown. Megan, an English student at the University of West Georgia, walked in, fell down the rabbit hole, and never left! Reader, we married in May of 2014, under the book arch that now resides at the bookshop. We are both proud alumni of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS), and Megan additionally of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and of the ABAA Women’s Initiative Mentorship Program. Like many booksellers with open brick-and-mortar stores, we are passionate generalists, but our specialties are in decorative publisher's cloth bindings; fairy tales, folklore, and mythology; popular science and natural history; the occult; and fine press books.
