Where I heard about it
- My own bookshelf — a copy I own but haven’t read; the literal anti-library case, a book bought and shelved rather than a recommendation received.
- In Patrick O’Shaughnessy’s A Curriculum for the Modern Investor, saved by Kyle in April 2020 — A Curriculum for the Modern Investor (Patrick O’Shaughnessy).
