Buffett mentioned Korean company handbook by Citi(?), does any one know if this is something that is updated annually and available

[bt1]

I forget the source(possibly CNBC interview) but I vaguely recall Buffett mentioned Korean company handbook by Citi(?) that he had looked at before he bought a few Korean securities(I believe it was for his personal account as these were small in size for BH) , does any one know if this is something that is updated annually and available. Would appreciate if anyone has looked into this and could share their thoughts.

I don't know where he got the Korean security book, but I assumed he got a Japanese book based on the investment he made there recently too.

He got the Korean book from his brokers at Citi.  I don't think anybody has ever shared a pdf of the book but I don't think it is a regularly published manual.  If someone here works at Citi maybe they can ask around and track down an old version.

I don't know if this is of any real help here, but a search gave me this [at least it smells a bit like it] :

 

Seach results from Google in Google Books.

Thanks longterminvestor, gfp and John Hjorth. I have been unsuccessful thus far in my google searches to locate this, but will continue to search.  On Japanese company handbook -  schin, Mohnish claimed in one of Chai with Pabrai episodes to have seen one  in Buffett's office
