Fifteen years after the original 1940 publication, Schwed's satirical observations proved remarkably prescient as America experienced unprecedented prosperity and market optimism. The timing makes this edition particularly significant - published at the peak of 1950s confidence, just before the market realities of the 1960s would again validate Schwed's warnings. The dust jacket's newspaper stock market listings design perfectly captures the era's market obsession, making this both a literary classic and an artifact of 1950s investment culture. Historical Significance The Bull Market Edition represents a pivotal moment in financial publishing history. Published during the Eisenhower prosperity when stocks seemed to only go up, this edition brought Schwed's Depression-era wisdom to a new generation of investors who had never experienced a major market decline. The irony was not lost on contemporary readers - here was a book warning about Wall Street excess published during the greatest bull market in American history. About the Author & Illustrator Fred Schwed Jr.'s masterpiece continued to find new audiences with each market cycle. His insights into human nature, market psychology, and the eternal dance between brokers and customers remained as relevant in 1955 as they were in 1940. Peter Arno's sophisticated illustrations perfectly complement the text, representing some of the finest commercial art of the mid-20th century. An excellent DJ with light fraying on the top and bottom of the spine. Dedication from the previous owner inside the cover. Hardback, 8vo, xxviii, 215pp,
