2011 Reprint of 1922 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Richard D. Wyckoff's writings never grow old. This book was originally published in 1922; it is still timely. Wyckoff's modus operandi was to have a small trading account ("not over five or ten per cent of my loose capital") and invest its profits into income-paying securities with the potential to appreciate in value. Wyckoff justified the size of his trading account psychologically. "There is a much greater satisfaction in operating with a small amount of money for various reasons: It makes you more careful, because, having set yourself to the task of realizing a large profit on a limited amount of operating capital, you plan your moves shrewdly and do not take risks such as you would if operating with more money." (pp. 42-43) And then there's the emotional high of seeing outsized returns on a percentage basis. Chapters Include:1. My First Lessons in Investing and Trading2. Profitable Experiences in the Brokerage and Publishing Fields3. Why I Buy Certain Stocks and Bonds4. Unearthing Profit Opportunities5. Some Good Experiences in Mining Stocks6.

2022 Reprint of the 1918 Edition. Candide, first published in 1759, is Voltaire's classic tale of disillusionment and eventual reconciliation with the vagaries of life. It begins with a young man, Candide, who is living a sheltered life in an bucolic Edenic paradise and being indoctrinated with optimism by his mentor, Professor Pangloss. The work describes the abrupt cessation of this lifestyle, followed by Candide's slow and painful disillusionment as he witnesses and experiences great hardships in the world. Voltaire concludes Candide by advocating a deeply practical precept, "we must cultivate our garden", in lieu of the Leibnizian mantra of Pangloss, which is "all is for the best" in the "best of all possible worlds".

2019 Reprint of 1892 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. Illustrated facsimile of the original edition first published in 1893. Baron Trump's Marvelous Underground Journey remained an obscure work until 2017 when it received media attention for perceived similarities between its protagonist and U.S. President Donald Trump. The novel recounts the adventures of the German boy Wilhelm Heinrich Sebastian Von Troomp, who goes by "Baron Trump", as he discovers weird underground civilizations, offends the natives, flees from his entanglements with local women, and repeats this pattern until arriving back home at Castle Trump. In July 2017 the books were rediscovered by Internet forum users, and then the media, who pointed out similarities between the protagonist and U.S. President Donald Trump, whose son is named Barron Trump. Jaime Fuller wrote in Politico that Baron Trump is "precocious, restless, and prone to get in trouble", often mentions his massive brain, and has a personalized insult for most people he meets. Chris Riotta noted in Newsweek that Baron Trump's adventures begin in Russia. Hence the renewed interest in the works of this obscure American children's books author.
