Is this an original? I've read 1-2 of his books before, and after reading the first 1-2 pages of this, the style of language doesn't seem to be that of Wyckoff - or anyone from the early 20th century for that.

From what I understand the 20th century was only 10 years ago!

Most of the mainstream books by Wyckoff are more like articles with words of wisdom and friendly storytelling style interspersed. This one my friend is grunt work and if you want something practical then you have to drop the excuse of 20th century language and start focusing on the material therein. There's widsom to be had from these old words from the master.

I'd agree Gringo - there is wisdom to be had from the old master, but if this is simply someone from recent day interpreting his words, then you have a derivative product - someone elses opinion. 2nd hand opinion. Chinese whispers - vital detail could be omitted.

Take the first few pages that have the arrogance of telling us how to learn from the manual!! Everybody learns in different ways and at different paces.

I can see that whoever compiled this has put a lot of effort in to the work for which we should be grateful. I just think it would have been better had they just presented the text as Wyckoff presented it.

Thanks for your input DbP.

You've clearly studied a lot of his works. Did you find the style a little different too? Or, am I just over sceptical?

Cheers,

All of the material could not have been written by Wyckoff. The last date on the copyright page and many of the other pages is 1937, clearly after Wyckoff's time. Likewise, some of the charts, data, and narrative describe events that transpired after 1934---Wyckoff obviously could not have written that material. (The text also reads at times like an uncorrected OCR transcription.)

For example, "The Basic Law of Supply and Demand," "Judging the Market," etc., (copyright 1931) sound like Wyckoff. "How to Proceed with the Study..." (copyright 1937) does not. Other pages seem to be mixed, suggesting they were revised.
