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. Rating: 1 / 5 This book is a joke.

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.
