This well-loved copy of “Price Theory and Applications” by Jack Hirshleifer bears the marks of a life spent in academic libraries, where its insights on microeconomic theory were studied and debated by generations of students.

First published in 1976, this seminal work remains a cornerstone text for understanding how markets function and prices are determined. While the wear and highlighting speak to its popularity as a teaching tool, this ex-library copy also represents a piece of intellectual history.
