1.The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life by: Alice Schroeder September 29, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £25.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £12.50 You Save: £12.50 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £11.25
The book starts well although it reads a bit like a hagiography written by Arthur Hailey. That is ok by me I like Arthur Hailey and have always regarded Buffett as a saint. I laughed out loud several times during the first 50 pages. After this it gets a bit heavier going. There are many insights and many surprises. I had not realised that Berkshire Hathaway lost money from the start and wound up having the textile mill shut down. I had not reliased that Buffett was first a director of Salomon brothers and then became chairman appointed to clean up the mess which he seems to have done with great honour distinction and dignity. I liked the account of the arbitration with the former director Gutfreund who seems to have had it ... Read More:

I ordered this book as part of my Masters in Business Administration course. The book is neatly structured, mainly separating subjects in three main parts: Strategic Positioning, Strategic Choices and Strategy in Action. I also found the case studies presented in this book to be of great help when studying for the Business Environment module of my MBA. A matrix table presents a guide for each case study in the book and what are their main focus. For example, if you want a case study that focus on Porter's five forces, then read the TUI case study on page 619, and so on. The book also comes with an "student access kit" to access further content online, and claims that users would have access to more than 30 "classic case studies" ... Read More:

Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £45.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £37.25 You Save: £8.74 (19%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £53.11
This is an outstanding book to have in any executive library. It covers so much more than most other books, and I'd go so much as to say it is a must have / read for anyone studying management, or is on an MBA program, or is going into an executive post. Well writen, covers topics clear and succinctly. Money well spent.

Too many books contain the word Buffett in their title but only this book comes from the annual letters to shareholders. Truly authentic Buffett in his own words is much better just because he dosen't need any interpretation. Domenico De Salvo

9.Accounting for Non-Accounting Students by: John R. Dyson May 03, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £42.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £36.54 You Save: £6.45 (15%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £32.00
I purchased this book on the recommendation of a co-worker (fully qualified accountant) who used the third edition while at uni. She was spot on when she told me that it is a great help to those students who come from a non-accounting background. (i.e. no A levels in accounting). The layout is easy to follow, great self tests along the way, case studies, real world relevent news articles and even an online site with further tests.

Like most people who buy this sort of book, I had stuff thrust upon me at work, and had to swat up on project management PDQ. I am big fan of short introductory books like the "for dummies" series. This looked similar, so I bought it. To say that it's useles would not be fair. It does contain useful advice. Most of it is at the level of rudimentary common sense. If put clearly and succinctly, all of it would probably fit into less than 25 pages. The rest of this book is waffle, and mindnumbingly boring waffle at that. This is the very opposite of brilliant. The book is thin on substance and thin on entertainment value. It is singularly mediocre. AS I have since found out, there are many other books on project management which are more rigorous ...
