First Edition of John Brooks' The Go-Go Years; Inscribed by Him to fellow writer Dick Whalen
First edition of this work regarding Wall Street in the 1960s. Octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the half-title page, "For Dick Whalen with warm regards John Brooks." The recipient Richard J. Whalen was a fellow writer, among whose books include Trade Warriors and The Founding Father: The Story of Joseph P. Kennedy. Very good in a very good dust jacket. Jacket design by Paul Bacon.
The Go-Go Years tells the story of Wall Street in the Swinging Sixties... before the bubble burst! Wall Street in the fabulous era of speculation, synergism, creative accounting, the youth market and Chinese money... when conglomerates sprouted like crowds of daffodils and new investors swooned over mutual funds. Writing with wit and wisdom, John Brooks provides an endlessly absorbing portrayal of the money market swept along by a euphoria reminiscent of 1929.
