Security Analysis
Benjamin Graham and David L. Dodd · Whittlesey House / McGraw-Hill Book Company (New York and London) · 1934
No book-club issue is documented. The principal reprint trap is McGraw-Hill's facsimile "Security Analysis: The Classic 1934 Edition" (ISBN 0070244960), a modern reproduction of the 1934 text that is regularly mistaken for the original. Within 1934 itself, the stated later impressions are the commonest misattribution — sellers read "FIRST EDITION" on the copyright page and stop before the impression line. Read both the copyright page and the title page. Note also that Wikipedia's black-equals-first / maroon-equals-second-printing assertion is contradicted by ABAA dealer records and should not be relied on.
