New York: George H. Doran Company, 1923.

First edition of this Wall Street classic, signed by legendary investor and trader George Soros. Octavo, original publisher’s ochre cloth, decoratively stamped in blind. Boldly signed by George Soros on the front free endpaper. Hungarian-American billionaire hedge fund manager and philanthropist, George Soros, has authored fifteen books on global capitalism, finance, and politics that offer insights into his approach to business and investing. Starting his career working in British and American merchant banks, Soros quickly seeded his fortune with his first hedge fund, Double Eagle, later renamed Quantum Fund after the theory of quantum mechanics, and his short sale of $10 billion worth of pound sterling during the 1992 Black Wednesday currency crisis, which earned him the name ‘The Man Who Broke the Bank of England.’ Having developed the economic theory of reflexivity, founding the Institute for New Economic Thinking, and contributing heavily to knowledge on investment and economics, George Soros has undoubtedly made his mark on the greater financial world. In very good condition with rubbing and wear to the spine extremities. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box made by the Harcourt Bindery.

First published in 1923, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator is the most widely read, highly recommended investment book ever. Generations of readers have found that it has more to teach them about markets and people than years of experience. It tells the thinly disguised biography of Jesse Livermore, a remarkable character who first started speculating in New England bucket shops at the turn of the century. Livermore, who was banned from these shady operations because of his winning ways, soon moved to Wall Street where he made and lost his fortune several times over. What makes this book so valuable are the observations that Lefèvre records about investing, speculating, and the nature of the market itself. "A must-read classic for all investors, whether brand-new or experienced" (William O'Neil).
