Contents: FICTION - A wonderful story by Leonard Wibberley about The Duchy of Grand Fenwick's fiscal challenges when faced with a financial windfall and it's citizenry experience what can happen when one doesn't understand the dangers of "too much of a good thing." After trying to dump their next windfall in the stock market to lose it, they find that wall street doesn't always deliver on expectations. The Duchy of Grand Fenwick is a tiny fictional country about 3 by 5 miles long. The Duchy, ruled by Duchess Gloriana XII, is described as bordering Switzerland and France in the Alps. Wibberley's first novel in the "Mouse" series "The Mouse that Roared." received critical acclaim and was made into a film starring Peter Sellers, Jean Seberg and Leo McKern in 1959. Another Mouse novel "The Mouse on the Moon" was also made into a film in 1963.

This novel is recommended reading for anyone interested in monetary policy, the dangers of a trade imbalance or the risks of inflation and devaluation of a fiat currency. Although this story centers around sovereign finances, I found it very enlightening on how one may want to treat their own individual financial empire. Fiscal prudence, thrift and foresight will always win the test of time. The biggest takeaway I got from this book was the importance of balance, specifically trade balance. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED READING, should be mandatory reading for every US politician. Collectible.

He wrote 57 books, alongside many articles for newspapers and journals, and regular columns for the newspapers "Financial News" and "Commerical and Financial Chronicle. He was born in Brasov, Transylvania, and educated in Hungary, England and France. He took a degree in Doctor of Political and Economic Sciences at the University of Paris from 1921 to 1923. He moved to England in 1919, becoming a citizen in 1929. This book is a great reference for what events happened during the 30's era world financial crisis and what we might expect in futures global financial melt downs. The main characters may be different in the next go round, but the challenges with deflation, inflation and devaluation will still likely be the antagonists.

Book Description: Brentano's, New York, 1923. Hardcover. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. Hardcover, Brown cloth boards with Green title to cover and spine, deckle edges, 325 pages, First American Edition, 1923.

Book Conditon: Good, spine slightly cocked, lightly shaken, corners gently bumped with some slight fraying, boards rubbed, light shelf wear, a few small tears (about 1/8") at top and bottom spine extremes, previous owners name in pen to front end papers, soft pencil marks / notations to the following pages: 12, 13, 15, 17, 18,19, 20, 21, 22, 29, 31, 36, 38, 63, 67, 74, 79, 81, 83, 88, 89, 91, 92, 95, 98, 105, 107, 108, 110, 111, 128, 136, 225, 253, 258, 289, pages slightly tanned. No Dust Jacket.

Contents: Life, loves and adventures of an expatriate Englishman in post World War I in Paris. Author wrote the book "Daffodil" under the pseudonym Cecil Barr (he had several others). Kahane also founded Obelisk Press in Paris in 1929 to publish novels that were too risque to publish in the United States. A writer and publisher of 'db's ("dirty books"), Kahane mixed serious work with smut in his list; he was able to take advantage of a legal loop-hole whereby books published in France in English were not subject to the censorship otherwise practiced at the time, but were still subject to confiscation when importation was attempted. Henry Miller's 1934 novel," Tropic of Cancer," had explicit sexual passages and could not be published in the United States; Obelisk published five more books by Miller, as well as Richard Aldington's "Death of a Hero" (1930), Anaïs Nin's "Winter of Artifice" (1939), Cyril Connolly's first book and only novel, "The Rock Pool" (1936), James Joyce's "Haveth Childers Everywhere" and "Pomes Penyeach" (1932), Frank Harris's "My Life and Loves" (1934) and Lawrence Durrell's "The Black Book" (1938), "Squadron 95" by war hero Harold Buckley, James Hanley's "Boy" (1935) and "Limericks" by Norman Douglas. He reprinted Radclyffe Hall's "The Well of Loneliness," which had been banned in Britain in 1928. Kahane published many forgotten authors like Norah James, Canadian poet Lawrence Dakin or Nadejda de Bragança. His wife Marcelle and their son Maurice (later known as Maurice Girodias) worked as cover illustrators for the imprint. -- Kahane died within days of the outbreak of World War Two, having just finished his final book, on 3 September 1939. This book, "Memoirs of a Booklegger," marked the end of Obelisk for several years, until his son (Girodias took his mother's birth name during the war to evade detection as a Jew) briefly revived it in the years following the war. This edition of Laugh and Grow Rich was published in New York by Bretano's in 1923, 325 Pages, Scarce, Collectible.

Viewpoints of a Commodity Trader by Roy W. Longstreet

Viewpoints of a Commodity Trader
by Roy W. Longstreet

Book Description: Frederick Fell, Inc., New York, 1968. Hardcover. Martha Z. Ohlemeyer (illustrator). 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Hardcover, Green cloth boards with black title to spine.

Book Condition: Very Good, spine straight, corners gently bumped, two very small 1/32" spots to text block, small (1/8") light blemish to copyright page, otherwise pages are clean and bright.

Dust Jacket Condition: Fair, covers rubbed, edges chipped, large 2"+ tear near spine, tanned and soiled.

Contents: (from the dust jacket -- "This is a 'behind the scenes book' in the strictest sense of the phrase. When Roy Longstreet was first confronted with the Question: 'If you know so much about commodity trading , then why aren't you rich?' he determined that the best answer would be a conspicuous measure of financial success in the trading of commodities futures. That he achieved his objective is evident because no he is the head of the largest brokerage firm in the country dealing exclusively in commodities. The techniques and the methods he employed over the years to achieve financial success is what is important to the reader and in this book we have those methods ably described by Mr. Longstreet. His approach to commodity trading is more 'fundamental' than 'technical.' He believes that psychology plays a basic role in the movement of commodity prices. As a matter of fact, he has often expressed the desire to hire a psychologist to apply specialized knowledge and find out what people who trade commodities think and why they make the mistakes they do. Roy Longstreet views will prove to be invaluable for those who want to increase their financial standing along intelligent, crystal-clear and forthright lines. As publishers of many books in the financial field, we recommend Roy Longstreet's book to you." -- Here are the actual chapters in the book: Foreword, A Good Man to Know, Making Money with Money, Your First Loss, Trading is an Art, New Goals, Strength, A Time to Rest, Distractions, Concentration, Fighting a Market, Ride your Horse, Stress Point, Running Scared, Mistakes, Giving Up, Hope(less) Trading, Luck, Forecasts, Statistics, Look Before You Leap, Tips, Out of Control, Do You Lie To Yourself, Know the Score, Keeping Score: Calculating Risk, Keeping Score on Selectivity, Do You Allow for Error?, Power, Net Power, Too Much Capital, The Moment of Truth, Silence, The Touch, Professionals, Commodity Trading - a Service, Declining Commodity Markets, Overtrading, Spread Trading, Trading the Fundamentals, Chart Trading, Charts Plus Fundamentals, Your Broker, The Big One!, Playing the Big One, The Easy Way, Dreams, A Trip to Purdue, The Hall of Mirrors, Advice, Boxed In, Good Information, Thinking and Learning, Realizing Bull Markets, Risk Control, Processed Data, The Story, Weather Markets, Pliability, Trade Selection, The Deepest Secret, Will Power, Pressure, Fool's Disease, Research, Bad Research, Courage, Change, Exotic Markets, What's Next, A Prayer. end -- I like this book because I believe it anchors the reader with the right mind set in approaching the markets. I didn't think it contained as much "hands-on" trading techniques as the dust jacket promises, but it's still a good read and offers some valuable psychological insights that will give thoughtful traders an additional edge. 147 Pages, illustrated, Scarce Title in Very Good Condition.
