About the author
Benjamin Graham (/ɡræm/; born Benjamin Grossbaum; May 8, 1894 – September 21, 1976) was a British-born American economist and professional investor. Graham is considered the father of value investing, an investment approach he began teaching at Columbia Business School in 1928 and subsequently refined with David Dodd through various editions of their famous book Security Analysis. Graham had many disciples in his lifetime, a number of whom went on to become successful investors themselves. Graham's most well-known disciples include Warren Buffett, William J. Ruane, Irving Kahn and Walter J. Schloss, among others. Buffett, who credits Graham as grounding him with a sound intellectual investment framework, described him as the second most influential person in his life after his own father. In fact, Graham had such an overwhelming influence on his students that two of them, Buffett and Kahn, named their sons Howard Graham Buffett and Thomas Graham Kahn after him. Graham also taught at the UCLA Anderson School of Management.

The book spends a great deal of time talking about all the ins and outs of analyzing companies in great detail. I had a bit of hard time following at times (due to not having the required accounting background) but was still able to derive great value from reading this text. I feel I'd have to read it a couple of more times to really grasp all the concepts though. At the very least I must say the writing in itself is quite eloquent and the ideas are presented in a very masterful manner.
It's definitely a heavy read and is probably ideal for an intermediate-level investor who is really interested in getting into the nitty-and-gritty of how to accurately value companies and spot undervaluation in the marketplace.
(I guess some years down the line I would read the so called "second edition" which is the one having all chapters. Perhaps the publisher would reprint the second edition a little better )
Regarding packaging, external packaging was damaged, book was in good condition with minor scratches in the back cover, other than that everything else is good.
Quality of paper is low and few minor print errors, we should live with this as sales of printed books are going down publisher may not be able to afford high quality materials, else book might be 10x costlier.
As everyone said, CD is not available with the pack, Lot of chapters are not printed instead referred to the CD. Example chapter 9 & 11.
Sobre el libro es muy interesante. Sin embargo no entiendo mucho esta edición. El libro tiene varias partes y al principio de cada una añaden un comentario larguísimo y te dicen cosas que han cambiado desde que se escribió de manero muy superficial. Pero luego llevas a los capítulos y no ponen comentarios útiles y de actualidad como en "intelligent investor". Y encima han borrado capítulos y no indican si son útiles o no, tienes que coger el CD y verlo en el ordenador...
Por eso pongo 3 estrellas. Porque su información es muy útil pero eliminar capítulos y poner comentarios superfluos que no ayudan en exceso aparte del estado en el que vino hacen que no pueda ponerle más.
