Guide Rating

The Coolest Book of its Kind
From the moment you crack open the ornate cover of "The Art of the Market", you know you're in for a treat.  The glossy paper, high resolution images, and easy to read commentary make you want to stop what you're doing and sit down for a quick read.  Each chapter centers around a specific time period in industrial America's history, taking the reader on a visual journey.

The only drawbacks are a few errors in the corporate histories.  For instance, Xerox company was originally founded as Haloid (the book states it was Harold).

This book is the perfect introduction to a friend, relative, or child who is interested in the stock market.
