Format:Hardcover
Go buy the classic 1934 edition. The informal style of the 1934 edition can be easily read and understood by just about anyone. If that one was good enough for Warren Buffet, it's good enough for the rest of us. This latest edition reeks of academic arrogance and is poorly written with points that ramble on forever with no conclusion and examples that make no sense. The 1934 edition has some outdated examples but its concepts and forecasts are so true that you'd swear it was a historical perspective written in recent years.

This book is definitely not for beginners. It would be best used by someone who is going to do a very detailed analysis of company statements. It would be particularly helpful for someone trying to learn about the typical ways of window-dressing financial statements.

Sure, some of the finer details and paradigms of investing have changed since 1934. But so many facets of investing are timeless, and for those facets, there IS no better book. It's cool having the 1934-style print, too. It really feels like reading an old book...if only the pages had the yellowing edges and that "old book" smell!
And even in the areas of securities analysis where the investing paradigm has shifted, it's captivating to see the hows and whys of investment decisions as they were made in the depths of the Great Depression. The first-person perspective you get about investing through the Depression is fascinating!
Some of the more esoteric aspects of determining the "intrinsic value" of a security are described in ways which are surprisingly and refreshingly easy for even advanced beginners to understand.
No serious investor who picks his/her own stocks should be without it.
