I know this has been around a long while and is considered something of a classic, but it just didn't do much for me. A lot of prose, a lot of fundamentals, chapters 77 to 82 are commercials for Norman's newsletter service. Seems to fail to recommend any specific action other than subscribing to his newsletter. There are some interesting, though out of date tables. 101+ subjects that just don't seem to come together.

Third party seller represented this book as a new 2006 edition published in India. In reality it was heavily used 1976 edition. Caveat Emptor!
