    Description of Investment Made Easy

    Investment Made Easy has become a bestseller for its refreshingly easy-to-read style and its clear ground rules on how to research investments and pick winners. Now revised and updated - and in paperback for the first time - it is a must for any investor.

    Reviews

    'Beginners might well find this the best investment they will ever make. Really good reading.'
    - Lord Hanson

    'Above all, he makes it fun - everything he does is fun, and he pours it into this book. It is enjoyable as well as instructive.'
    - Ivan Fallon, The Sunday Times

    'The ability to strip the mystique from the world of money and explain it clearly has made Jim Slater something of a guru for the private investor.'
    - Terry Bond, ProShare

    'He offers the advantage where he casts a professional investor's eye over those savings products aimed at the small investor, from unit trusts to gilt-edged stocks; here he scores highly. Mr Slater's analysis of the unit trust industry is excellent.'
    - Alex Brummer, The Guardian
