The only reservation about the book that I have is that it wasn't written by the Oracle of Omaha (Warren Buffett) himself. It was written by Daniel Pecaut and Charlie Munger (I'm not familiar with either of them, but I don't invest in individual stocks, only mutual funds right now. Pecaut's company is shown as the publisher of this work). So, the information from the 30 years' of stockholder meetings is filtered, although possibly in the minutest amount and, by necessity, condensed. But, to read the full transcripts of the meetings might not just put you to sleep, they might put you in a coma.
There are companies which try to have fun in their stockholder meetings--I know that Wal-mart (that's the corporate name; a store is "Walmart." Go figure) is one; I suspect that Southwest Airlines is another one (United Airline's (the airline which dragged a 69-year-old man up the aisle of an airplane, and "threw" him out of the airplane) next stockholder meeting will probably be rather subdued. ha), there are probably many others. I get the idea that Berkshire Hathaway's is pretty much strictly business.
Oh, and your not likely to find a book--even an ebook--by Warren Buffett for
free, like this was is/was.
