The Little Book of Value Investing

Christopher Browne packs the essential wisdom of the Benjamin Graham school into a book you can read in one sitting, and the credential behind it is the real thing — decades of actual value investing from a firm that learned directly from Graham. It covers international markets as well as domestic, which gives it more reach than most primers at this length. The trade-off is that it stays at the principle level; readers who want step-by-step stock analysis will need a follow-up book.
