The "new revised edition", in other words the 2nd edition of Benjamin Graham's highly-influential guide in investment literature. The 1st edition, originally published in May of 1949 (with a code of D-Y), went through a number of printings. Then a 2nd edition (called the "new revised edition") came out in 1954, also going through various printings until 1959, when a 3rd edition, now called the "second revised edition", came out. As confusing as it all sounds, it actually does make sense but, more to the point, what we have here is the May 1958 printing of the 2nd edition, born out by the code E-H {without which one cannot really determine the printing or the date} on the copyright page. And we have a very sharp copy to boot: Tight and Near Fine (just a touch of light offsetting along the inner hinges) in a crisp, price-intact ($4.00), VG to VG+ dustjacket, with mild fading along the spine, mild wear at the spine ends and a touch of rubbing to the front panel. Octavo, internally very impressive, with no writing or markings to speak of. "The book that has become for thousands the indispensable guide to sound investing".

The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham is a fundamental book on value investing, providing financial wisdom that is still pertinent today.
