2.0 out of 5 stars Feels out of date, June 6, 2003

By A Customer

It doesn't feel like the author has practical experience in small-cap investing (he's a professor), and a lot of material is just theory. Too much time is spent on the history and controversy of small-cap performance. The figures and diagrams are crude and at times hard to interpret. The facts may not be out of date, but the presentation is.
