From the Back Cover

A fascinating journey inside the world--and mind--of Warren Buffett. Warren Buffett is history's greatest investor--and America's third-richest man. But how did Buffet reach that pinnacle? What did he see that others missed? And perhaps most important...What does he see today? Of Permanent Value takes us where no other book has, making us privy to Warren Buffett's successes, his secrets to investing, and his plans for the future. From earning pennies selling Coca-Cola in his youth to buying a major stake in the soft drink giant as an adult, Warren Buffet has always followed his own path. Of Permanent Value offers a uniquely candid overview of that path, including: how Buffett turned a 1956 investment of $10,000 into $250 million today--after taxes!; step-by-step replays of Buffett's best investment moves--and some he'd just as soon forget; extensive interviews with Buffett's family, friends, and business associates that reveal his thoughts and investments philosophies. Filled with fascinating facts, rare photographs, and compelling stories from some of the world's leading public figures--all told in nugget-sized chapters that are fascinating to read and impossible to put down--Of Permanent Value is the story of Warren Buffet himself. It is an intrinsically American tale, one to which we can all relate...and from which we can all profit. So pull up a set and have a few words with the "Oracle of Omaha"--one of the great financial minds of all time.
