1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this book!, Oct 5 2003

This review is from: One Up on Wall Street: How to Use What You Already Know to Make Money in the Market (Miniature Edition) (Hardcover)

You are probably looking for one of the full text editions, such as the copyright 2000 Fireside Edition ISBN 0-7432-0040-3. This miniature edition measures about 3" x 3", is 94 pages long, and has only about 35 words per page. It is essentially a bullet-pointed summary of the original.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't get conned!, April 11 2006

This review is from: One Up on Wall Street: How to Use What You Already Know to Make Money in the Market (Miniature Edition) (Hardcover)

I ordered this book after reading a copy from the local library. WATCH OUT, this book is not what it seems! This one is a MINATURE edition, written in point form! It was only after I came back to the site that I noticed the small print listing it as a minature. Buyer beware, I got conned! I'm sure that if I argued with the seller he would refund me the $.50 but keep the shipping cost of over $6.00! Postage only cost him .25 cents so I guess that's how he makes his money.

Having said that, if you can get your hands on the real deal, I highly recommend it. Its an easy read, you'll learn lots of essentials and become a better investor, especially if you're new to the subject. I consider this one of the greatest all time primers.

1.0 out of 5 stars IT'S A MINIATURE BOOK!!, May 19 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: One Up on Wall Street: How to Use What You Already Know to Make Money in the Market (Miniature Edition) (Hardcover)

This book is a vague summary of the full size book by Peter Lynch. It's a perfect book for your bathroom, because you'll read cover to cover in 5 minutes. Not what I expected, since it fits in the palm of my hand.

I wish I should have read the first two reviews which warn buyers about this book. After waiting for this book to come since November 2007, I just got this 2 3/4 X 3 1/4 inches... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Miniature edition!
Watch out! This is the miniature edition of the book. It represents about 8 average full pages and it is written in point form. Ridiculous!
