Title: 5 star knowledge material, 1 star paper material
Product review: I'm not writing to review the quality of Benjamin Graham's knowledge and advice. If I were, I'd give it 5 stars, because Graham's clear prose is filled with useful data, anecdotes, and advice. And that's part of the problem. With a book like this, you want to read it with a highlighter, so you can quickly scan chapters back over again and pick out the most important parts. But if you try to do that with this book, you'll just go mad. I have tissues that are thicker are less-porous than the pages of this book. My toilet paper is made of sterner stuff. Highlight the front of the page, and the highlighter is almost more visible from the back. No matter how you try, using a highlighter on this book just creates an unwieldy mess.If you want a copy of Benjamin Graham's The Intelligent Investor just to read through casually, this particular one will be just fine. But if you want to actually study Graham, do yourself a favor and find a better copy.
