Historical Letters

[ValueMaven]

Does anyone have Berkshire's historical letters all in one place and file like what I have attached for Buffett's Partnership letters from 1957 - 1970

 

I've been putting off reading all of these, and would finally like one complete file for my studies...

John - before I start reading all 2,500 pages - what exactly am I looking at here?  Seems like letters, interviews etc?

Look at the bookmarks, should be pretty self-explanatory at that point.

Thank you, Joel.

Has anyone actually read all 2,500 pages?!  What an incredible source of wisdom!  Thank you again.

If these are all of Buffett's partnership letters, then I have. IMO it was probably the best financial reading I've ever done. Did it on the subway going to/from work, about 30 min each way, took me maybe a month?

 

Second is perhaps Klarman's book.

 

Also I would note that Buffett's letters were one of the last things I've read from the "value canon". I think that was beneficial - I had a financial education, I had some years of investing experience, I had seen how a "value" philosophy plays out over a cycle. In other words, I was in a place where I understood the reasoning behind Buffett's words.

 

It was actually one of the best play-by-play renditions of 10 or so years of value investing. Highly highly highly recommended.
