Review
"The chief Boglehead is Taylor Larimore, 81, a former official at the Small Business Administration . . . He and a few other Vanguard fans started the Diehards forum in 1998. Now Larimore and two other longtime Diehards—Mel Lindauer, 67, a retired owner of a graphic arts business, and Michael LeBoeuf, 63, a former management professor—have written The Bogleheads Guide to Investing . . . . The book’s main themes should come as no surprise. In his own writing, Bogle emphasizes diversification, low costs, and index funds; here, his followers try to make those notions graspable for beginners . . . . Also, unlike most investing authors, the Bogleheads offer advice on topics from taxes to insurance to estate planning ."—Penelope Wang, MoneyMagazine (January 2006).

"′The Bogleheads′ Guide′ is both a textbook for beginners and a refresher course for old hands. It blends elements of financial–planning primers like ′The Wealthy Barber′ with tips on why it pays to be cheap, a la ′The Millionaire Next Door.′ ... The Bogleheads march readers smartly through the basics of how much they need to save for retirement, how to allocate their assets and when to rebalance their portfolios. The authors steer through the minefield of taxes and warn neophytes to master portfolio–gutting emotions including greed and fear." – James Pressley, Bloomberg.com
