A 90-year-old FNN viewer from Virginia offered it to me in the fall of 1985. (Trivia question: Where did the Dow Industrials close after its very first day of trading? Answer: 38.59.) Back then, the Industrials only had 12 components, and the Transports, with 20 issues, were known as the Rails. But my sentimental favorite is a beat-up old chart book of the Dow Jones Industrials and Transportations Averages going back to December 18, 1896, the day the modern Dow Jones averages were born. My inscribed copy of Ivan Boesky's Merger Mania, for example, was appraised a few years ago at $200. My collection also includes about 200 business books written by authors I have interviewed through the years. My specialties include astronomy texts written before 1900, such as Percival Lowell's classic Mars, the first published speculations about the possibility of life on the red planet (which inspired Jules Verne to write The War of the Worlds), and a strange little tome from 1852 that claims astronomer William Hershel spotted sheep on the Moon with his telescope. I am a collector of first editions of books.
