Poor Charlie's Almanack

I'm very intrigued by this book and want to pick it up.

To those who have read it, did it fulfill your expectations, and what, if any, are the differences between the various releases?

Thanks.

I'm not sure if I have the most recent copy, as its from a few years ago(~4yrs).  However, I did enjoy it very much.  I think of it as a coffee table book for Munger fans.  I read it cover to cover, but its really written like a bunch of shorter snippets. 

If you are a Munger fan, I am sure you will enjoy it.

Order it from here as I believe the profits go to the Huntington Library (one of Charley's charities)

It not only fulfilled my expectation, it actually more than fulfilled my expectation.  I actually bought more than 20 copies of the Chinese version and gave them to the engineers who work for me.

I loved the text, but just hated the illustrations that range from mildly juvenile to absolutely idiotic.  Get the book but ignore the pictures.  Unlike, those men's magazines you really are buying it for the writing :D

i convinced my library to buy the first edition a few years ago so I could read it without buying it.  After I read it  I wished I had just bought a copy.

It's great, worth buying for future reference.

Bought it, and just got it in the mail.  Can't wait to delve into it.
