Our Readers’ Favorite Investment Books

By Jacob Wolinsky. Originally published at ValueWalk.

Black Friday Amazon is hot and we are here to help – Our readers love reading. I have read over 100 books in 2016 (thanks in part to Audible) which is my all time record – and with Black Friday coming up you might want to check out as Mario Gabelli would say deals, deals and… deals. So consider a book (or any other present) for yourself, or as a gift.

Using our Amazon Affiliates account we looked at the most popular books purchased by readers so far for 2016 (1/01//2016-11/20/2016)  – data was compiled not by revenue but total number of physical books purchased (we did not include e-book data or audible- we do not list books twice ie there are several different versions of “Intelligent Investor” by Benjamin Graham which were #1 and #2, there also different formats like hardcover, softcover, CD etc.   We just listed it once using the most popular version – note there are some classics in here but also some great new and newish books – check them out below.
