This book reminds me of one of my favorite college classes back in the day. "Introduction to Film." And I'm not being sarcastic. Intro to Film was superb because it gave you a slice, and often one of the best slices, of the many different genres of the medium. It was an All-Star game of sorts. Similarly, The Book of Investing Wisdom is an All-Star review of the greats of Wall Street.

It's biography, history and smart financial advice all rolled into one compendium. Recommended.

Note: The audiobook version is abridged. It's still a great listen but you get more content in the actual book. ( )
