New York, Harper & Brothers Publishers, 1958 [1959].

After thirty years in investment banking, Philip Fisher (1907-2004) presents the tenets by which he has brought success to the clients of his eponymous firm.

Critical of more technical forms of analysis based purely on numbers ('a sizeable number of research projects, governed merely by the law of averages, are bound to produce nothing profitable at all') Fisher proposed a more in-depth manner of evaluating stocks. With a focus on growth-potential and quality management, his Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits offers a list of do's and don'ts to investors who hope to follow his profitable lead.

The first investment book to make the New York Times best-seller list, the work caught the attention of Warren Buffet, who says 'I sought out Philip Fisher after reading his Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits. When I met him, I was as impressed by the man as by his ideas. A thorough understanding of the business, obtained by using Phil's techniques enables one to make intelligent investment commitments'.

First edition, later issue (date code C-I); 8vo (22 x 14.5 cm); unclipped pictorial dust-jacket, black cloth back grey boards gilt, wear to head and tail of spine, dust-jacket with closed marginal tears and fraying at ends; xiii, [1], 146pp.

Zelden p.21; Dennistoun 504.
