I should have noticed this is a “miniature” book. It’s two inches wide, about 2 1/2 inches high, with wide margins and essentially no words. The entire “book” can fit on half of an ordinary sized page.

i hate that book. i stayed today all day at home to read it, and now i cant even stand looking at one more page. i bought that book to learn and understand investing and i had a note book and a pen in hand to write notes, but instead, it is like a biography kinda book with old stories and coulda, woulda and shoulda but no solid information to remember or take notes off. i hate that book , i hate it , i hate it.

Book arrived in a timely manner and happy with product. Although book does not seem brand new, at the price and for my personal use it is more than enough.

THIS IS A KEYCHAIN VERSION. THINK SHORT PITHY “DAILY AFFIRMATIONS” LIKE, “REMEMBER, YOU CAN’T KISS ALL THE GIRLS.” NOT A VERSION OF THE PAPERBACK–SUITABLE FOR DOLL HOUSES, MINNIATURE COLLECTIONS AND JOKES ABOUT THE HERD MENTALITY OF RETAIL INVESTORS VIA OBLIQUE REFFERENCES TO THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION AND GEORGE ORWELL’S “1984″
IF YOU GO TO PRIVATE SCHOOL (OR PERHAPS COMMUNITY COLLEGE)YOU CAN BUY THS ONE IN ADDITION TO THE PAPERBACK AND THEN, ALL ON CUE, OR IN QUICK SUCCESSION, ATART READING THE “CHAPTERS”
SIZE AND SHAPE NOT CONDCIVE TO HITTING A SPECIFIC TARGET. SMACKS WALLS AND BLACKBOARDS EFFECTIVELY WHEN THROWN OVERHAND.

This book is a joke. For a beginner looking for a comprehensive guide for investing, don’t buy this book, unless you want a lesson in being ripped off. This book is the size of a coaster, the kind you find next to the checkout at the pharmacy about how to get various stains out of your argyle socks. It’s made up to look cute; a two inch hardcover tomb, complete with dustjacket. Misspellings and grammatical errors abound in this nugget. Aspects of investing are listed, but not explained to any extent that might help someone actually pick stocks. “A Fool And His Money Are Soon Parted,” by Peter Lynch. Buy another one of his books (a “big kid” book), but not this one.
