About this Item

Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston, MA. 1955. 212 pages with index. First edition, first printing with 1955 printed on both the title page and the copyright page with no later printings noted. Signed by John Kenneth Galbraith on a loosely laid-in, adhesive backed bookplate. Binding and hinges are strong. Pages lay tight. Orange cloth is bright and clean. Titles stamped in bright silver on front panel and backstrip. Endpapers are bright. Pages lay undisturbed in seemingly unread condition. Original DJ is bright and attractive. Slight dulling to orange hue on spine. One small chip on the bottom rear edge of DJ. $3.00 price-clipped from flap. An exceptional copy of the classic that has never been out of print since its initial publication in 1955. Galbraith traces the economic history of the lead-up to the Wall Street Crash of 1929; in part hoping today's speculators take note of history in order to not repeat it. First edition, first printing, with a John Kenneth Galbraith hand-signed bookplate loosely laid-in. Near Fine/VG+.
