👎 Skip It
Gary Eldred brings real academic and investing chops, and the mix of strategy with actual investor stories makes this more engaging than most beginner guides. But it's a 2008 book talking about financing programs that don't exist anymore, so you'll need to mentally filter out the dated parts.
