Straight forward book on value investing.

Touching on such important topics as discounted cash flow analysis, competitive advantage, and margin of safety, the book educates the new investor on the basic principles that Warren Buffett and others encourage all investors to follow. Short and to the point, the book delivers a lot of value to the new investor.
