'Peter Stanyer and his colleagues have made an outstanding book even better . . . an insightful survey of the current state of investing'

Elroy Dimson, Professor of Finance at Cambridge Judge Business School 

'Mindboggling. How the authors managed to get so much good information and advice into How To Invest is a mystery to me, but they did. Despite the time that many investors spend on more complicated investments, the authors remind us that a keep-it-simple framework is more than adequate to sustain an investor's spending plans. If you only have one book in your investing library, make it this one'
