This book is excellent. It's very easy to understand for a lay person and organized in a very systematic and step by step fashion. As someone moving from real estate investment in Russia into mining investment in Australia, I am certain that this book will be a constant resource to me in the future. It's a shame there aren't more books on investing that are so packed with information yet easy to follow for a novice. Definitely worth a read whether you are entering this field or simply looking for a way to understand a potential personal investment. Read it!
