The book would only be about £6 from the US store, plus shipping. Not sure what latter would be, but all these are charged £2.75, which gives a lot of $$ shipping! Might be a good option for those who'd rather deal with a UK supplier though. If anyone does the maths (or buys from the US in the UK) please do share your workings... ;) Thanks Niklas, though I see some of those importers dispatch from the US anyway.

I've also noticed a new trend where fund managers have 'seen the light' about active management, so start of wealth advisory firms where they basically buy/allocate ETFs for you - for a hefty fee, of course. Laugh or cry?! Indeed.

There's no sales commission on index tracker unit trusts and ETFs. Perhaps the (UK) Retail Distribution Review will change matters - if the banks don't water it down. …. and the biggest noise is from the Financial Services Industry selling (often unsuitable) products.

The hard part isn't understanding (or explaining) how to invest wisely. The hard part is actually doing it. Wow…I’m happy to see that you enjoyed the book so much. :)
