Summary: Disappointing
Review: I expected much more information and details about gold investment. The basic idea that author annoyingly repeats throughout whole book is the gold is good for investing and all other kind of investment are bad
Rating: 
Summary: Highly Recommended
Review: I found this book to be very informative. I have never invested in precious metals before, and needed to be educated on the subject. The ABC's covered everything I needed to know before I make my first investment into the gold market. It is well written and easy to comprehend. I would highly recommend this book to every first time investor.

Summary: Only Holds Merit for Serious Gold Investors
Review: I would recommend this book to investors who know beforehand the pros and cons of gold investments and still wish to proceed. The information in the book is interesting and would be helpful to future "goldbugs" but I felt that the book was overly biased. In my opinion, the book overemphasized to good points of gold investments. While an excellent hedge, gold is in reality a poor and very conservative investment choice and deserves only a small portfolio allocation. In addition to this book, I would definitely recommend additional research.

Summary: Great primer for those interested in gold as an investment
Review: Michael has written an excellent book for people who want to understand gold, its importance as an investment vehicle and how to invest. The book does a good job at convincing you so dont get carried away and start buying gold. Like any other investment gold has its pros and cons. Do more research and reading before you spend your hard earned money. Look at some websites like kitco and gold-eagle.

Summary: A no nonsense guide to investing in Gold.
Review: This book provides the basics on how to invest in gold. In a pragmatic way it explains the vocabulay and the pros and cons of gold investment. What I found most useful was the fact that it detailed how the market affects gold prices and dispels some of the common myths of adding gold to your portfolio. I highly recommend this book for all who are interested in gold investing.

Summary: good read
Review: This book was a fun, easy read. The author gives you a basic history about gold, the changing political and monetary climate concerning it, how gold was viewed before by people and governments around the world as compared to now, why you should view gold not just as an investment but, more importantly, as a kind of insurance policy. I've read it twice now, and more of it sank in the second time around so that it makes more sense to me now."Regardless of the dollar price involved, one ounce of gold would purchase a quality man's suit at the conclusion of the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt, and today."
