1) Paperback Book Investing from Scratch: A Handbook for the Young Investor by Penguin (Non-Classics). The author writes very well, but all too often the advice is a little thin. I liked his approach to handling money but for real practical advice I found another book more useful: "How To Invest $50 to $5,000" by Dunnan. However, both make excellent presents for young and/or inexperienced investors and savers.¤

2) Paperback Book Investing from Scratch: A Handbook for the Young Investor by Penguin (Non-Classics). Lowell´s writing voice is engaging, intelligent, and refreshingly free of finance jargon. This is a primer for people who have more on their minds than their mutual fund returns. One of the very few books of this genre I could actually relate to, as someone with a healthy skepticism towards the American dream of riches and retirement. Written uncondescendingly and with attention to the often ignored but important issues of investors´ social responsibilities, and if it is in fact possible to do well and do good at the same time. One of the few books of this genre that doesn´t alienate me.¤

3) Paperback Book Investing from Scratch: A Handbook for the Young Investor by Penguin (Non-Classics). I liked it, and it was helpful, except it wasn´t geared to COMPLETE beginers who have had zero experience to investing... I would have liked there to be a section telling you exactly what all the numbers (like in a wall st. journal) mean, and how they relate to a company... The glossary was very thin...¤

4) Paperback Book Investing from Scratch: A Handbook for the Young Investor by Penguin (Non-Classics). Filled with basic definitions and easy-to-understand strategies, an investment primer for young adults shows how to reduce the risks associated with investing, select the best investment markets, and track one´s progress.¤
