Intelligent Investor: The Classic Text on Value Investing

Book is of good quality.

I had previously read previous edition of the same book. That was based on last edition written by Ben Graham and commented by some Jason Zweig. It was 600+ pages long. That was not the bad book but I felt all that commentary distracting. Also Ben Graham had made many changes Vis a Vis his first 1949 edition. 1949 edition was what inspired many value investors like Buffet. All in all not that great experiment with 2006 edition. So I decided to try this new edition because this was the same first 1949 edition reprinted without "Any commentary" by any one. Excellent. I don't need any one (let alone a reporter) when Graham is speaking himself. The book is around 300 pages of pure distilled investing wisdom. I urge those who have bought the older unwieldy edition to buy this latest edition. Each page is filled with investing insights and wisdom that is beyond the cost of this book. Excellent value investment indeed. In my life I think after my Engineering education reading Intelligent Investor and Security Analysis (again only 1951 edition please) is the best investment I have made in my life. These books are like beacon or light house on the dark and stormy night in the market. The wise old man has all laid out here in these two books. Chapter 20- Margin of Safety alone will help you achieve your financial goals provided you understand the message. Every page teaches you something. Including this and older editions I would have read this book at least 4 times. It is sheer joy every time.Thank you Ben Graham. You were one of a kind. I owe you a lot.

Well, nothing can be added to the legend that is this book, so I'll only review this particular edition and binding.Well, it's perfect!The materials used are very high quality, and it should last a lifetime, which is probably the aim if you're looking at this edition. Well, I think it's safe to say this fits the bill for a collector, a serious student, or even just an admirer of one of the greatest financial books ever.Would definitely recommend!

Awesome

Its a must buy for investors who are looking to analyse companies from a fundamental perspective.

Gives great view on investing....it's written in 1949 and still holds good

It's quality is best

This book is not for Indian market. As according to my view only the 25% - 30% of the book is helpful for Indian market, As few strategies of this book is helpful and can be applied for Indian market
