 Jack Bogle continues to give ordinary investors "a fair shake." December 6, 2009

I read Jack Bogle's first book, "Bogle on Mutual Funds" in 1994. It changed my investing life forever--and for the better. We often say: "We live in the house that Jack Built."
I have read all of Mr. Bogle's books and learned from every one. He is a gifted writer with an unequaled background in investing. Fortune magazine designated him as one of the investment industry's four "Giants of the 20th Century." He instituted the first index mutual fund which became the largest mutual fund in the world, and he also founded the only mutual fund owned by its shareholders (Vanguard).
"Common Sense on Mutual Funds (updated) is actually, two books in one. It is his first edition written 10-years ago with charts and data completely updated. In addition, throughout the book, is Jack's commentary on the many changes that have taken place during the past 10 years and how it relates to what he wrote in the original edition. I found it notable that the common sense advice Mr. Bogle dispensed in the first book has stood the test of time remarkably well.
"Common Sense on Mutual Funds--Fully Updated" deserves a place on the bookshelf of every serious investor.
The Best Gets Even Better December 2, 2009

In Common Sense on Mutual Funds: Fully Updated 10th Anniversary Edition, John C. (Jack) Bogle has done what most would have considered to be an impossible task. He's taken his 10-year old best-seller (Common Sense on Mutual Funds) and made it even better. This version is updated to reflect the recent and often unpleasant events in the market and the marketplace. There's commentary on what worked and what didn't, and he shows how his timeless message still holds true today, using recent events to make his point. Charts and return data have also been fully updated. This new version is a must addition to any mutual fund investor's library. If you can only find time to read one investing book, this is that book. Read it and reap!

After 10 years, this classic Jack Bogle book continues to be the clearest and most concise book published to date on why index investing works, and why it will continue to be the superior investment strategy for investors in the future. What has Mr. Bogle changed since his first edition? Not much. And that is strong testament for this strategy.

If you are looking for one book to start with to learn about investing this is a great start. John Bogle founded the Vanguard Group and he is an advocate for low cost index funds. This book will help you learn about mutual fund expenses, how to compare funds against and index and what to look for in management. This book won't teach you everything you need to know about investing but it will make it a lot easier to learn more if you want to.
Still a classic, with 10 years of confirming data February 19, 2010

John (Jack) Bogle's Common Sense on Mutual Funds is a must read and with the updated data, Mr. Bogle's wise words of wisdom have been confirmed that Index Investing does pay off in the long run. God Bless you Jack in preaching common sense. We are forever indebted to you.
