Keeping safe our copy of Margin of Safety

If anyone asks about our copy of Seth Klarman's 1991 book, Margin of Safety: Risk-Averse Value Investing Strategies for the Thoughtful Investor, be aware that there are unusual access policies in place for it because of the book's value on the used book market:

• the book is in the archives
• it does not circulate at all
• anyone who wants to look at it must make arrangements in advance with Prof. Sandra Roff, who will sit with that person as he/she reads the book
• limited numbers of pages may be photocopied by Prof. Roff at her discretion
