Extremely rudimentary and introductory. Would be well served as a introduction to quality investing and read prior to Quality Investing, Fundsmith Letters, Sleep Letters, etc.

An easy hour read, don't let it deceive you. It's packed with terrific information, will make you stop and think about your own investment process, and introduce you to some new statistical methods to hone your skills. I'll be reading this again - soon.

Extremely basic (margins and growth are important, wow) and extremely short (of the 71 pages, 58 are musings on why things like margins and growth are important, with 13 being a list of quality companies worldwide).
