Sixty years of letters, in one volume

Warren Buffett wrote to Berkshire Hathaway's shareholders every year from 1965. A share cost about $18 that April. At the end of the record it was $680,920 — 37,829 times the money, a little over 19% a year, for sixty years running. The letters are what he was thinking while it happened, written down as it happened.

We collected all sixty, set them from the originals, and printed them as one hardcover of 968 pages. Buffett agreed to it on a handshake, and his office helped us find what was missing. This is the fourth edition and the last one we will make.
