Reviews

[Tirath · Rating 3 out of 5]

An enormous compilation of letters/ excertps/ memos from the past many many years, ending in the 80s.

The size of the book is quite daunting and many of the essays are redundant today.
then again, many of the essays are extremely important today.

Good to browse through, but even then it takes a good amount of time.

One for the collector.

[Brendan Hughes · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a useful book for those looking to review writings about various investing topics from different minds over a long period of time. I think that some of the material can be glossed over, while some of it is very important.
