Paul,

I don't understand the demand for the book. Imo, many better books out there for all levels of value investing.

Could it be possible that since the book sells for several hundred dollars per copy that the crowd believes since its price is that high that it offers a comparable level of value?

Personally, I believe that the best book(s) that I ever read were by Robert Hagstrom and Roger Lowenstein on Warren Buffett.

The next set of books that I enjoyed reading were money manager interviews by Peter Tanous, Kirk Kazanjian, and John Train.

I've become quite fascinated as of late with crowd theories and have focused my attention on that now.

Regards.

suggest you retrieve the book and place it for sale on ebay . looks like you can retrieve a multiple of your investment.
I bought a copy of a used book of Whitmans instead for $`13. Waiting for it to arrive.
