Craig, will it have the same cartoons and illustrations as in the hardcover?

It's not a huge deal for me, but I plan to give hardcovers to family members and a kindle version to myself.

Permanent Portfolio Book Kindle Edition

Hardback version is coming for those that want a reference for their library shelf at home.

I will continue to boycott Kindle.

We don't set the prices. But I will say that there were a lot of people involved to get the book to print and it is unlikely large numbers will be sold (this isn't exactly Harry Potter!). Selling for less than $10 is extremely difficult on lower volume production runs just thinking about the time, effort, research and expenses we had just to write it. Not to mention the editors, copy editors, proof readers and marketing people that worked on it. Don't give the publishing industry too much credit in terms of margins on these projects.

I'm biased, but this book contains a ton of original information that readers just aren't going to find in most books on the subject of investing. I've easily spent 2X as much for 1/2 as much information and practical knowledge. I'll flat out state that I'll put what we have in this book against any I've ever read in terms of information, presentation, clarity and practical use.

Thank you for taking the time to write this important book.  I remember getting a copy of William Bernstein's "4 Pillars" back for Xmas in 2004, and it gave me an investing education that served me well (.....at least until 2008 came along).
