Apparently coming out in November. Anybody knows anything about it?

 

For a long time on Amazon it has said that Christopher Risso-Gill (the author of There's Always Something to Do) will be coming out with a new Cundill biography in Spring 2014 called of all things "Routines and Orgies".  Here is the exact statement:

 

"Christopher Risso-Gill is the author of 'There's Always Something To Do - The Peter Cundill Investment Approach'. He is currently working on a new, more personal Peter Cundill biography 'Routines And Orgies', which will be published in Spring 2014."

Wow, ok. Apparently will be launched at McGill where Cundill sponsors http://www.mcgill.ca/cundillprize/

Maybe they're still working out the kinks.

wow i cant wait to read this amazing book by this amazing Financial Genius/Philosopher/Philanthropist/ Philanderer!

 

he sounds like a guy who takes himself a bit too serious.

I thought "There is always something to do" was dry and a little overhyped with mentions from Price and Watsa.. So hope the new book is a reboot and not a sequel.

I have a faint suspicion this might sit on the other end of the spectrum....dry might not readily come to mind when we read it. We'll see. Cundill filled several books over the years with is personal notes, so it will be straight from the horses mouth.

The book is available for pre-order on Amazon.
