Big Beat Steve Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 If you can shoot it cheaply on ebay, get it. Those TREND books tend to be around so you just need to observe the market for a while and then ... click and snipe" It's a good read and it is intersting to be able to see the history up to that time (c.1955) the way it was seen THEN (and NOT with all too many interpretations cobbled up with the "benefit" of hindsight that too often makes too much use of "generally acquired wisdom" of what was supposed to be good and enduring and what not). Another interesting aspect is that a good deal of its pictures have not been seen elsewhere THAT often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
