Summary: The Best book ever written, well maybe not quite!
Comment: I read The Richest Man in Babylonseveral years ago while on vacation but when I got home I couldn't remember the name of the book. I have been searching for the book on & off since then.
I just bought 4 copies on line a few days ago and will be giving them (3 of them) out for Christmas. I can hardly wait for them to arrive.
Every time I speak to someone about finances I bring up this book. Now I will be able to give them the name. It helped me get out of debt except for my house.
I highly recommend this book, especiall for Jr high/High School kids. It will give them a look to finances that schools don't teach. It is not a "Religous" book but gives a parable look at finances. (Do you remember Aesops Fables when you were young? They taught us alot.)

Summary: A better read than Napoleon Hill
Comment: It's interesting, entertaining and good historical read. And very motivational. For that price you get a great time, good mood and motivational power. A worth to buy & re-read also. I can just add one more 5 star. You must have this book just because it's a eternal law of money nature

Summary: ONCE YOU HAVE READ THE BIBLE, THIS IS NEXT
Comment: How do you place a price on brilliance? This short read is outstanding and I would recommend it to anyone including every junior or senior high school student in the United States. More books like this one and all of the Og Mandino books or any of the Napolean Hill books. And, let's not forget W. Clement Stone books.

Summary: Intense wisdom delivered in a concise 144 pages
Comment: Intense wisdom delivered in a concise 144 pages. Confession: For many years, I've known of this book but was not bothered to read it since I thought, well, it might just be another how to make a million dollar book. Then after some thoughts I figured, well, there's not much harm picking it up and have a look, if I'm not convinced, I can always put it back, with little loss of time. But in retrospect, my such reaction was analogous to that of Bill Gates's attitude towards Warren Buffett prior to 1991 :P (I'm not comparing myself with them, just the situation!) In case you don't know, Bill Gates had thought of Warren Buffett another your-friend-recommendation-of-smartest-guy, until his mother says Kay Graham of Washington Post was there, he went along, and the rest was history.
Lest you think I wrote all those just to boost word count, just two short comments on 'intense wisdom' and 'concise 144 pages': 'Intense wisdom' because there's no word wasted in the book, so read with full attention (and respect accorded to a prayer, if you will), better in a quiet library than in noisy subway; 'concise 144 pages', more so considering the fact that the book is smaller than A5 size! If you can practice the advice expounded in the book with fanatic devotion (I guess nothing less is satisfactory), you're on your way!

Summary: I'd recommend this to others
Comment: I loved the style of writing.
This book shaves finances down to the basics. It made money management extremely easy to understand and entertained me at the same time!
