The Art of Value Investing: How the World's Best Investors Beat the Market (Wiley Finance)

There are some real gems of investment advice here from some very good stock focused fund managers, however there is also some average advice from average fund managers, so before you take their advice on board check their long-term track record, but this is a real bible of value stock investing and well worth the purchase

I found the book to be interesting and it gave me many new investment concepts to consider in the future. I found the format of the book to be both a plus and a minus. Clearly the ideas came from many experts and as such had high credibility. This was useful. However I missed the authors' task of integrating the comments, some of which were at times contradictory. I wished the authors would have written some integrating comments at the end of each chapter to pull together the comments better. To me one task of an author is to help the reader learn by integration and summarization. I felt the authors could have helped me more there. I am still only an educated amateur in investing and I would have liked more help.

This book is not what I expected. Tilson is an outstanding investor, and someone I look up to. In hindsight, other reviews are spot on in what is included in this book. This is a gift from Tilson to the value investing community and I appreciate every word and line. In Tilsons next book, I would love to read about the Art and Science that he incorporates into his portfolio management... Less anything proprietary.

This is a very well put together book compiling interviews with many well respected and successful investors. The authors have done a great job organizing these investors thoughts by subject. The format reminds me of Lawrence Cunningham's Essays of Warren Buffett: Lessons for Corporate America.

This book does not supply the nuts and bolts of value investing; but rather, gives you the different philosophies, of value investing, from various money managers. From that standpoint, it has value. However, if you're expecting to read the book, in order glean how to select value stocks using metrics, look elsewhere.

This is a great survey of the thinking of many top value investors. The format is a series of quotes from leading fund managers. There are many subtle insights and lessons here. Highly recommended for the value investing enthusiast.

I do not like the way this book is written. It is essentially a compilation of quotes and stories from various asset managers. Did not gain as much from this book relative to the many other value investing books I have read.

I bought this as a companion to "The Manual of Ideas" by John Mihaljevic. This book covers the same territory from idea analysis to execution and portfolio management but uses multiple 1-2 paragraph quotes from well known value investors on each topic.

Greatly enjoyed this book. I was a bit skeptical of quotations/interviews format at first, as I liked the market wizards series but did not find them overly helpful/relevant to an average reader. This is certainly not the case here – instead of full interviews, authors divide the book thematically and relate what the best value investors have to say on each topic, always to the point and informative to the reader. They manage to put together a real presentation of contemporary value investing. Each chapter starts with a brief commentary before immersing the reader into the best minds of value investing. Highly recommend this book to anyone interested in value investing.

awesome book!!!!!!!! must fr all long term value investors. its a STEROID !!!!!! A special thanks to Mr John Heins & Whitney Tilson............ Thanks to amazon.in

well written book.

Malgré que tout le livre soit des extraits provenant des commentaires de différents grands investisseurs,l'auteur a fait un très grand travail en les regroupant par différents thèmes et le résultat est très intéressant. Je crois que tout investisseur trouveras dans ce livre la stratégie d'investissement qui lui convient le plus tout en restant fidèle à la philosophie d'investissement dans la valeur
