The Bogleheads' Guide is a winner! January 8, 2006

Hey Taylor, Mel and Michael and fellow DieHards,
I sincerely enjoyed your book. I learned more in 10 hours about investing than I learned in the past twenty years! Shame on me.
I ordered 12 more copies to give to close friends with an encouragement for them to re-gift it if they don't learn anything new or gift two new copies each to their friends if they did learn somthing new. This is an idea I "borrowed" from the movie "Pay It Forward" where if someone does you a favor you pay it back by paying it forward to someone else who could use a favor, and so on and so on, etc. Worst case, you sold 13 books. If the encouragement runs three full generations, you sold 85 books.
Hope you don't mind but I also recommended that they read chapters 19 & 23 first to "whet their appetite" before reading the whole book. Most of them have not yet been to the Diehards.org web site and therefore may not have the zeal for reading an investment book that I picked up from reading all the posts.
I have a question to ask and I'd rather not wait til you appear on C-SPAN's Book Notes with Brian Lamb to hear the answer. I know you three live great distances apart. How in the world did you collaborate in writing this book? In-person, phone, email, file forwarding, etc?
Another Diehard very accurately said it was written with one voice. I was impressed with that and with the humor and quotes used to teach the lessons.
Congratulations guys - This one's a winner - I think you'd better get ready for the second printing.

A Must Read for New or Experienced Investors!!! January 5, 2006

The Boglehead's Guide to Investing offers all the essential ingredients toward building a solid financial future for anyone who takes the time to read and apply its' principles. Written from the perspective of three successful investors who have no motivation other than to share their wealth of investment experience with their fellow readers, they provide the reader with an easy to read primer on all aspects of building a successful financial portfolio.
A striking example of the successful principles outlined is noted in the book itself, when it refers to a letter written to Vanguard's former Chairman, Mr. Jack Bogle, by a longtime Vanguard investor. In the letter he thanked Mr. Bogle for allowing him to build a portfolio worth over 1.2 MILLION DOLLARS, while never earning more than $25,000 per year!
So I ask, who can NOT AFFORD to read this book?
In summary, if you are new to investing, or would like to further your knowledge of all the critically important aspects of investing, this book may very well be the best investment you'll ever make!
