About This Item
New York: W.W. Norton & Company. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 1989. First Edition. Hardcover. 0393027503 . Signed and inscribed by author upon title page. "With the eye and ear of a born storyteller, Michael Lewis shows us how things really worked on Wall Street. In the Salomon training program a roomful of aspirants is stunned speechless by the vitriolic profanity of the Human Piranha; out on the trading floor, bond traders throw telephones at the heads of underlings and Salomon chairman Gutfreund challenges his chief trader to a hand of liar's poker for one milion dollars. Lewis's job, simply described, was to transfer money, in the form of bonds, from those outside America who saved to those inside America who consumed. In doing so, he generated tens of millions of dollars for Salomon Brothers, and earned for himself a ringside seat on the greatest financial spectacle of the decade: the leveraging of America." - dust jacket. 249 pages. Ninth printing of the 1989 first edition. Clean, bright and unmarked with negligible wear. Very light wear to complete dust jacket now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart. An excellent copy.; Cover Art; 8vo; Signed by Author .
