First edition of the best book on index investing ever published. Octavo, original boards. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author and by legendary investor and author of A Random Walk On Wall Street Burton Malkiel on the front free endpaper, “To Amy Later, With best wishes John C. Bogle.” “Jack Bogle was a great friend and I was on the Vanguard board for twenty-eight years. I knew Jack Bogle extremely well. We got along famously because we both did have the same philosophy. Jack was certainly one of my heroes. And I’ll tell you one of the reasons he was the hero. It’s fine for an academic to go and write a book and say, ‘Go buy index funds.’ But Jack bet his whole company on starting an index fund” (Burton Malkiel). Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Don Welsh. Foreword by Peter L. Bernstein. Rare.

"Cogent, honest, and hard-hitting—a must read-for every investor" (Warren E. Buffett). John C. Bogle was founder of the Vanguard Mutual Fund Group and President of its Bogle Financial Markets Research Center. He created Vanguard in 1974 and served as chairman and chief executive officer until 1996 and senior chairman until 2000. In 1999, Fortune magazine named Mr. Bogle as one of the four "Investment Giants" of the twentieth century; in 2004, Time named him one of the world's 100 most powerful and influential people; and Institutional Investor presented him with its Lifetime Achievement Award.
