5.0 out of 5 stars Unfiltered Facts 5 May 1999
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
This book, while it collects many unknown facts does not organize these facts into an easy reading format.

I purchased this book and DISCARDED it because I found it too unorganized to read. The author himself states that he wrote this as a shareholder-admirer and I find very little added value in this book. Read the annual reports and some of the other excellent books instead. You will never finish this book.

For the most comprehensive and valuable information about Warren Buffett and his remarkable life, this book covers all the bases. There are more photos than any other Buffett bio I've read, as well as more human tidbits about his wit, his friends and his enterprising childhood.
