Customer comments on this selection.
 One of the best books on investing ever!!
This is a classic and one of the best books on investing ever. It is a large book and a lot to handle for most people but it is done in a way that almost everyone should be able to understand what the author is saying. An excellent book on explaining how to value a company and getting you to think about the value of cash flow in terms of current dollars. Most of the time when people put money some place they do not really understand the return vs. risk concept. maybe this book will help with that.
 Excellent Classic Book for Value Investor
You will learn and understand important factors to consider during your investment process. I like this wondeful classic book.
 Very bad copy quality
While the fly on this text touts the fact that this edition is photocopied from the original text, the process did not work. The text copy is fuzzy and blurred making it hard to read. This process was not disclosed in the Amazon summaries available for purchase decision which I find troubling. I would not recommend this text.
A Must Read
This is the a must read for any investors. It is, however, quite difficult for beginners to comprehend, though. At least I didn't understand it quite well until after I took Corporate Finance, Accounting, etc... and studied for my CFA exam.
I'd recommend beginners read Graham's "The Intelligent Investor", which help create a concrete basis of your investment philosophy.
 Where are the Cliff Notes?!
I had to put this book down after skipping pages, sections, chapters, etc due to the academic writing style (way too wordy) and the vague examples/formulas. Like another reviewer I'd suggest that someone take all of the information in this book and boil it down to something easily readable with concrete examples. I've read tons of investing and educational texts and was bored to tears with this one but gave it 3 stars as I think there are some good nuggets buried in it. My most recent investing book was Rule #1 and it seemed like a very simplied version but an easy, understandable read, so maybe I'll wait for the Cliff Notes ;) I'm a trader/investor and don't need one on my shelf to "appear" smart...anyone want to buy my copy of this book?!
