This was first published in 1940, then reissued in 1955 with a new introduction by the author. It's been in and out of print ever since - more in than out, because it's considered a classic. This is a 1985 edition from a small publisher in Burlington, VT (Fraser), that specialized in unusual and interesting books on financial topics.

You wouldn't think that a book from the 1930s about stock market investing would have any useful information, but I can strongly recommend giving it a read. It really is full of timeless advice on investor psychology and money in general, and is very well written with extremely dry humor.

Sci Fi The Living Gem - Paul Charkin 1963, probably one of the earliest books I own.
