Investment Books that Would Make Great Gifts

Holiday shopping has already started, and if you are like me, you like to get your shopping done ahead of time. I have already done most of mine. One of the best gifts you can make is a book, since it lasts forever and gives your recipient something to do when they are taking vacation days.

Here is a selection of books that may be of interest. Please note, the first two books on the list I would consider to be R rated. They wouldn’t make a good gift for someone who is offended by sex or drugs.
