The copy I've read was from the library, must have been the 1st edition, from 1994. Quite outdated (touts General Motors as a safe bet!, doesn't include hardly any online references), it was still helpful in explaining the basic concepts and definitions in the World of Investing.

One of the best investment books I've read so far. For anyone new to investing.
