This review is from: The Richest Man in Babylon: The Original Version, Restored and Revised (Paperback)

This is the exact same as the original. There is nothing worded differently save for the chapter names themselves with "The Tale of" preceding the original name.

The book itself is a very quick read. Its pages are bigger than the original version thus explaining the reason for the fewer pages. Has some very good principals on how to earn, keep, and further build your money. This book made a lot of millionaires. Which means for 10 bucks, you're making a great investment.

Couple things I like about this version is the fact that the font is a little bit bigger and easier to read; secondly, they gave a one sentence summary at the end of the chapter to help the reader get the meaning of what was read.

All in all, a good revision; necessary? I'm not entirely sure but still, you're not being cheated or refrained from any wisdom compared with the original. Good stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read and routine re-read., July 18, 2007

This review is from: The Richest Man in Babylon: The Original Version, Restored and Revised (Hardcover)

For me, there are several core books and other sources of information that that I re-read or re-listen-to periodically so I don't stray too far from their sage advice.

"The Richest Man in Babylon" is one of those core sources. I prefer reviewing this source by listening to the CD while driving in my car.

With regard to powerful personal finance, if you only ever have ONE core book/source make this your one book/CD.

Here's to your future, powerful choices and continued powerful financial choices!

1.0 out of 5 stars Stay away from BNpublishing Edition, May 9, 2008

This review is from: The Richest Man in Babylon: The Original Version, Restored and Revised (Paperback)

This is one of the best books I have read. However it got ruined by bnpublishing. The format and text jump from one place to another. I have a feeling (after reading this edition) that the publisher copy and paste the Microsoft Word version of the book and just print it out w/o even look at how the paragraph turn out to be. Heck, my ebook look better than this version of bnpublishing. So stay away from this edition. Look for the yellow cover edition instead. Nothing has been changed!!!!
