Title: If only the editor would have followed Charlie's advice.
Product review: When an author has great material, the quality of the resulting work is usually hard to diminish. This book is a rare example. Peter Kaufman's editing is so disruptive (repeating text, annoying graphics, irrelevant photos) that I can't believe Munger (who's mantra is "I have nothing to add") ever vetted this compilation. But then Munger did predict such events in number 23 on his list of the Psychology of Human Misjudgements -- "The Twaddle Tendency." If you've already bought the book, go directly to page 139 and just read Munger's talks, trying to block out all of Kaufman's distractions. If you haven't bought the book, save your $60 -- Munger's stuff is such that someone else will have to write a better book.
