Written to advise friends and clients, Frasca's book includes discussions on famous stock fraud cases, the Great Depression, real estate schemes, Prohibition, and judicial appointments, among much else. An early consumer advocate, Frasca notes in his dedication that he had "twelve years' experience in exposing many stock frauds and recovering thousands of dollars. that otherwise would have been lost" (p. iii). Octavo. Original maroon cloth, spine and front cover lettered in gilt, front cover panelled in blind. With dust jacket. Photographic frontispiece, occasional neat printed underlining to the text. Cloth bright, light rubbing to extremities, slight foxing to edges, faint toning to contents; light toning, finger soiling, and damp staining to jacket, minor creasing and chipping to extremities, several neat tape repairs on verso, flaps without price as issued: a near-fine copy in good jacket.
