Amazon.com Review

The Investor's Anthology: Original Ideas from the Industry's Greatest Minds is an enlightening collection of poignant observations from more than 50 respected individuals who have weighed in over the years on assorted financial matters. Compiled by Charles D. Ellis and James R. Vertin and grouped into related sections, its broad mixture of perspectives--represented by the inclusion of Hans Christian Andersen and Phinaeus T. Barnum alongside Benjamin Graham and Adam Smith--is highly instructive and quite entertaining.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book!, December 21, 2006

By	George W. (Glendale, California United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Investor's Anthology: Original Ideas from the Industry's Greatest Minds (Paperback)

I received this book as a gift and found it to be quite entertaining. Nice anthology of articles on investing, fincancial history, and business success in general. Very eclectic group of writers ranging from Benjamin Graham to P.T. Barnum (I have always found Barnum's "Rules for Success" to be invaluable). Very hard to put down once you have begun. Even harder not to finish the book a bit wiser.
