New York: Random House, 1979.

First edition of Dreman’s revolutionary work on the stock market success. Octavo, original half cloth. Association copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, “To John Pugsley with best personal regards David Druman 1/1/80.” The recipient, John Pugsley was an American voluntaryist libertarian political, economics commentator, lecturer, and best-selling author. In the late 1960s Pugsley entered the investment business, founded a publishing company, the Common Sense Press, and wrote his first book, Common Sense Economics. It sold over 150,000 hardcover copies. His second book, The Alpha Strategy (1980), was on the New York Times bestseller list for nine weeks in 1981 and is considered a standard reference on stocking up on food and household goods as a hedge against inflation. Very good in a very good dust jacket, highlighting. Jacket photograph by Leonard Knatzer.

In Contrarian Investment Strategy, Dreman extends and makes fully practical for the average investor the stock market strategies first presented in his best-selling Psychology of the Stock Market - a work Barrons called "one of the most important books since Graham and Dodd (1934), and a good bit easier to read... a must for anyone interested in securities." "An extremely readable and useful book that will be of great value both to the layman and the professional" (Warren Buffett).
