  <default_description>&lt;P&gt;The best book on investing ever written, this deluxe hardcover re&amp;ndash;issue of the 1949 classic work offers Graham's sound and safe principles for investing &amp;ndash; principles that have worked for more than the half century since it was first published. Beautifully packaged, this essential work will be a must&amp;ndash;have for fans and novices alike. It also features a new Foreword by mutual fund legend, John Bogle. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; The classic bestseller by Benjamin Graham, &lt;i&gt;The Intelligent Investor&lt;/i&gt; has taught and inspired hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. Since its original publication in 1949, Benjamin Graham's book has remained the most respected guide to investing, due to his timeless philosophy of &quot;value investing&quot;, which helps protect investors against the areas of possible substantial error and teaches them to develop long&amp;ndash;term strategies with which they will be comfortable down the road. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; Over the years, market developments have borne out the wisdom of Graham's basic policies, and in today's volatile market, The Intelligent Investor is the most important book you will ever read on making the right decisions to protect your investments and make them a success. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; This deluxe hardcover re&amp;ndash;issue of the original 1949 text by Graham &amp;ndash; what Warren Buffett deems to be pure, unadulterated Graham &amp;ndash; will feature a beautiful package that will make it an instant must&amp;ndash;have for the many fans of Graham, and collectors everywhere, and is further enhanced by the inclusion of a new Foreword from mutual fund legend, creator of the first S&amp;P500 index fund, and founder of The Vanguard Group, John Bogle. &lt;/P&gt;</default_description>
