Graham has been called the father of financial analysis, and his strategy of value investing is enthusiastically touted by no less than investor extraordinaire Warren Buffett. Graham's principles have been popularized in numerous editions of his Intelligent Investor. His Security Analysis (now Graham and Dodd's Security Analysis, 1988) is a treasure in more ways than one; copies of the 1934 first edition have sold for as much as $7,500. (Check your stacks!) Graham died in 1976, but when he was in his 60s and 70s he had written an account of his life, called Things I Remember. Seymour Chatman, from the University of California at Berkeley, has edited Graham's reminiscences and provides a lengthy introduction to them. They focus on Graham's first 40 years and provide a highly personal look at the influences on Graham's life.
