"I went the library route not only because of the 'value' orientation, but because so many tombs basically just replough the same feild and I didn't know, a priori, that this would differ. It does."

Bob,

I agree, this is one of the more memorable books I've read that deals with asset accumulation (but not necessarily investing). I did borrow from the local library BTW. <g>

The key point of the book to me was that most millionaires encountered didn't look the part. They generally don't drive the expensive cars, wear expensive clothes, and generally don't play "keeping up with the jones'". I think one of the quotes in the book was that the millionaires pick a more middleclass neighborhood to live where they _are_ "Jones".
