Read and reap? J.P. Morgan Co.'s private-banking unit, New York, compiles "Summer Must-Reads for Millionaires." The 10-book list includes the 1934 edition of "Security Analysis." (The Wall Street Journal )

Synopsis
'My Advice? Go back to Graham and do your best to take it from there' - "Business Week". A classic - Those words can be applied without equivocation to the Security Analysis of 1934. This book secured Benjamin Graham's stature as a Wall Street immortal. The carefully honed methods for finding undervalued stocks and bonds he described here have never been equalled. These methods have already outlived their author by more than 20 years. But what of the original "Security Analysis"?In some ways, it too was immortal. Through five editions and nearly a million copies, it has been continuously in print for more than 60 years. With many additions and changes, the modern edition remains the investors' bible. But this original 1934 First Edition has its own unique charm and style - the special purity, elegance, and character of Graham as a man of letters - that distinguishes it across six decades and shows why this book launched an investing revolution.

This authetic copy of the 1934 First Edition of "Security Analysis" gives you word for eloquent word the investing methods put forth by Benjamin Graham and his coauthor and follower, David Dodd, just five years after the infamous Stock Market Crash of '29. Its message today is just as vivid, just as lucid, and just as vital as it was in 1934. It's an investment in timeless wisdom and timeless value.

Packed With Knowledge!
A book that has been continuously in print for nearly 70 years obviously has timeless relevance. The principles of value investing, spelled out for the first time in Security Analysis by Benjamin Graham and David L. Dodd, have made fortunes for investors since it was first published in 1934. For example, Warren Buffett calls this book his Bible. Much has changed on Wall Street since the 1930s, but the concept of buying undervalued companies has not. In addition to its lucid explanation of investment basics, the book is a fascinating picture of a time when the lessons of the Great Depression were still being absorbed. The Securities Act of 1933 had just changed the rules of financial disclosure, and most public companies were manufacturers, mines, railroads or utilities — not the makeup of today’s blue-chip portfolio. We recommend this book to serious investors who want to cut through modern Wall Street jargon, and to students of financial history.

"The Greatest Investment Book Ever Written!"
Eventhough this book is over 65 years old it is still as relevant as ever, maybe even more so. With all the hussle and bussle of the day-traders and the momentum style investors, it is a nice change of pace to read a book based on common sense, buiness-style investing. Read his words, understand his philosophies, and you will profit!

The best way to safety of principle and satisfactory return.
This book is very informative in learning how to be as good as an investor as you want to become. With this book Warren Buffet bases 85% of his principle for investing, and I can sure see how someone can invest honestly and really profit over the years. The great thing is that allot of the companies that security analysis talks about have been around for years, and if someone was to perform a security analysis on some of the companies today, I'm sure they will come to some pretty good long range decisions. Coca-cola is one of the Companies that security analysis does talk about, and today that's one of Warren Buffets major purchases, it goes to show the value of the book. Also, with security analysis I feel you could attain just about any financial dream.
