In response to message posted by Kirk:

I recently read this book. However, I'm a little reluctant to recommend it. For example, it doesn't even display the classic "Coffeehouse Portfolio". Nevertheless, it's geared to the casual reader whiling away the hours at a comfy coffeehouse. Schultheis' stories are entertaining, so that part I think the readers will enjoy.

Much of the meat of the book on investing can be read at either his website http://www.coffeehouseinvestor.com and/or on the 'slice and dice' thread.

However, I do think an accessible book in the manner written like The Coffeehouse Investor geared toward investor novices is sorely needed. Surprisingly, the article that I recently wrote is not "simple" enough for these type of readers. This was the feedback I received from my coworkers.
