Warren Buffett is one name that stands out when it comes to value investing. His intelligence and investment methodology have helped him amass a fortune over the years. It would not be wrong to say that value investors across the world are keen to know what the Oracle of Omaha has to say about investing, his methods as well as his own experiences. As a result, the annual letter to investors in which Buffett discusses some of his investments, is a very much awaited document for his followers. For the simple reason that there great insights on investing as a process in each of these letters. Make no mistake, going through each of his letters is essential. However, it can be quite a task especially for someone who prefers to get the knowledge in a single place. For those in search for the same, there is a solution. The book 'The Essays of Warren Buffett: Lessons for Corporate America' is a collection of Buffett essays over the years.

These essays are virtually a treasure trove of information on the legendary investor's approach to investing. They touch upon various topics, right from from good corporate governance and value investing to importance of moats and management quality . What more, the book also talks about how conventional accounting can sometimes be grossly misleading. The book is aimed not just at investors. It can also make a very good reading for business managers and entrepreneurs. Simply because it discusses matters like the need for managers to think of themselves as owners of the business. Such an approach is essential if a business has to amass value over time.

We believe the editor of the book, Lawrence A. Cunningham, has done a good job of organizing the topics from various letters and put them in order for the convenience of the readers. All in all, a very highly recommended book from our side. ( By J Mulraj)
