Liberty Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Here's what I don't understand: the 2010 edition apparently has 2000 pages. Why is 2011 edition 1250 pages? Is it just an error on Amazon or is the book actually shorter? Did content get cut, or is it simply a different font size? Anyone knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlinls Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 this is a different kind of book. this is not like the other books he has done. one book on Warrens travels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liberty Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Thank you, if it's different then I still need to get the 2010 edition. Does anyone know where I can get it for a decent price? Amazon.com is out except for $200 third party copies, and I couldn't find it anywhere else. Would really appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction. thanks!

Parsad Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 As I've always said, this is hands-down the best biography on Berkshire and Buffett. Andy was really the first author/journalist to print something positive about Fairfax and Prem, exactly at the point when so many were doubting Prem's integrity. He printed it in a book completely about BUFFETT! Can you imagine the sacrilege since several managers who walked and talked the Buffett/Graham line were actually shorting the stock. When I talk about the great, ethical investment managers I know, I should always include Andy as one of the nicest and most ethical authors I know. He's a class act! I asked Andy for permission, and he has graciously allowed me to attach PDF's of the 2011 cover and 1st chapter. Enjoy! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberty Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 It absolutely seems like the best book on WEB, if only I could buy it... Been trying for months to find the 2010 edition at a decent price (not $200). I think I might have to order the 2009 edition... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcollon Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I just ordered the new book...thanks for pointing it out. I'm going to need new bookshelves to support the weight of all Mr. Kilpatrick's books. Funny to see him mention stopping in DQ in China. I was just over there and visited a DQ in Xi'an. The place was packed. It's in the main square. I attached a few pictures to show you how many people there were walking by this one DQ location (this was during the week).

shalab Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Andy has done a service to people who want to understand how Buffett has done things. Looking forward to the 2012 edition which will have all the details on the LZ deal, the preferred deal and the new deals not yet done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy has self published recent editions. Suggest you contact him to see if he can mail you a copy. If not, ask him for the date of his next press run. He'll probably have a number of copies available for the book vending at the upcoming AGM. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liberty Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Andy and I exchanged a few emails and he clarified things for me: The 2011 edition is mostly the same as the 2010 edition, with some additions. It has a smaller number of pages because the format is different and pages have 2 columns, but it still contains the whole biography. So I'll just pre-order the 2011. Sorry about the confusion everybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsad Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I think he had to go the two-column route, since the damn thing would have taken up one entire shelf on a bookcase! ;D Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's the "abridged" edition, as Warren calls it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
