Make sure you are buying the correct version. This one here is listed as mini version. (I've seen this version get a lot of bad reviews.) Mini version is cheaper = $4.50 but the FULL version is $9.50. The full version is the more famous of the two.

This is *not* the full version. Check out the size and the number of pages and compare to other versions. Don't buy this book if you want the complete version.

First time I was ever let down by Amazon. I've gone back a few times to look at the description of this item and have not seen it described as a little tiny minature of a very famous book. The book easily fits in your shirt pocket. It is filled with very important Lynch quotes, but it is very abridged. Not worth the time to return so I am 4.95 wiser.

Be careful, before purchasing this book, that you aren't ordering the minature version. You will be thoroughly disappointed when you receive 90 one inch pages with bullet points spouting lame motivation and cliched investing mantras instead of the 300 page, soft-cover, real Lynch book. Make sure you order the real book, or else you'll be stuck with a mini summary of the real thing (think of the mini books they have near the cash registers at book stores).

You are probably looking for one of the full text editions, such as the copyright 2000 Fireside Edition ISBN 0-7432-0040-3. This miniature edition measures about 3" x 3", is 94 pages long, and has only about 35 words per page. It is essentially a bullet-pointed summary of the original.

This book is a vague summary of the full size book by Peter Lynch. It's a perfect book for your bathroom, because you'll read cover to cover in 5 minutes. Not what I expected, since it fits in the palm of my hand.

The book is a mini book. About the size of a pack of matches. Anyways, dont get this book thinking you are getting the actual full version of Peter Lynchs book.

Buyer beware! The Kindle edition of this book is not the full book! It is the miniature "abridged" version that is only about 30 pages long, even though it is not advertised this way in the Kindle store, and there is no indication given that you are not purchasing the full book.

This version is nothing more than a list of bullet points that summarize the main points of the full book. As a "Cliff's Notes" of the book it is decent enough, but as a guide to investing it isn't particularly useful.

Don't waste your money on this version. Buy a paperback copy, and be certain you are getting the full book.

I was in shock when the book arrived to my house because it was a tiny book. No wonder it was cheap! I recommend not getting this book because the book doesn't go into specifics. However, it might be a good starting book for people who are clueless about stocks. Get his original book. It's good.

Make sure if you're looking to buy this book you don't buy this edition unless you want something to write notes on in your free time. That's almost all its worth. It's smaller than the average cell phone and doesn't contain the info you're looking for if you intended on getting the full version. Best used as a paper weight. Buy the full paperback version and don't waste your money on this one.
