LIPPER, Kenneth.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

Wall Street. First hardcover edition, inscribed by the author on the half title, "To John, your pro bono good deeds have helped a lot of deserving kids. Keep up the good works while continuing to make honest dollars for your clients. Best regards, Ken". Lipper was a lawyer and banker who advised on Oliver Stone's 1987 film Wall Street and wrote this novelization. This is the book club edition, published to coincide with the release of the film; it is preceded only by a paperback edition. Lipper served as the Deputy Mayor of New York City in the 1980s. The recipient of this book was likely the official John J. McLaughlin, who served as commissioner of financial services under Lipper, though he was later convicted in 1986 for stealing from a client and accepting bribes.
