It's a book that was written for the common man so there's a bit of a step-by-step feel to the book that makes it a fun and easy read about the basics of the stock market. Nearly every page has a photo or illustration so it adds a visual element that many beginner books are lacking. Great historical look at the stock market in the 1950s. 143 pages, Collectible.
