It's not a book in the ordinary sence, more like a compilation of approximately 500 questions and answers from the Berkshire Hathaway arranged and sorted by topics.

 

There is to me personally no doubt, that part six and the appendix in the book must be gold for an investor not alreaday with any knowledge about investing in the global insurance space.

Thanks for letting us know this is available @John Hjorth!  I placed my order today and should receive it soon.  Looking forward to it…

Thank you, @Maverick47,

 

It - the book - may have even great appeal to some CofB&F members, while to  other members perhaps not so much. Each to their own.

@John Hjorth I just got my copy an hour ago and looked into Part 6 and the Appendix and I will second your appreciation for them! This is a great addition to my personal library, and the author, Alex Morris, has done his readers an invaluable service in collecting and organizing decades of questions and answers in the manner he has done.  Similar to the way in which Lawrence Cunningham organized Buffett’s Chairmen’s letters….

That said, I'm personally a great fan of Lawrence Cunninghams books, too!

Does there even exist a good book about the insurance industry? - How it works, its inner economic mechanics, reinsurance etc. ? I am personally not aware of any.

I'm about a third of the way through this and I'm really enjoying it. Nuggets of gold on each page! Also, it saved me from having to go back over a huge volume of annual meeting transcripts myself.

This is the next book I'm gonna read. I have gone through as lot of video footage of the meetings as well. I wonder if there is any older wisdom that I might have missed.
