Summary
It took the world's greatest investor, Warren Buffett, nearly four decades to make his first $100M. The Deals of Warren Buffett, Volume 1 charts the series of investments that made up that journey.
In revealing detail, and with a lucid descriptive style, experienced author and investor Glen Arnold explains Buffett's thinking behind these investment deals and shows how his cumulative returns compounded his wealth over time.
In this formative period, from 1941-78, Buffett developed and honed the investment philosophy that would lead him to become so successful as his career progressed. But it was not all plain sailing - Buffett made mistakes along the way - and Arnold shows how Buffett learned through success and failure how to select companies worth backing. Arnold also includes insightful "learning points" at the end of each chapter, which reveal how investors can learn from the craft of Warren Buffett to improve their own investing.
Investments featured in this first volume include: GEICO, American Express, Disney, Berkshire Hathaway, See's Candies, and The Washington Post.
With stories and analysis drawn from decades of investing experience, join Glen Arnold and delve deeper in The Deals of Warren Buffett!

Great content but think this is a robot reading

I was hoping for a book that had done some more digging in the economics and details of every deal.
I think it would’ve been much more constructive to get a real analysis of the businesses he bought, to see all the numbers as then in Buffet’s shoes, and see what the businesses he bought was doing at that time, their history, their valuations etc etc.
And I would’ve enjoyed more info about the less known deals. This book is not really instructive in that way, it is more talking about buffett and his most known deals and more kind of stories about where he was in life at that moment with his investments and a mish-mash of all the standard stories already out there. The author tries to push Buffetts success it as his own lessons on what to take away and learn from the info (that was not really presented in the first place).
I have no opinion on performance.
Perhaps still worth a read. But not really a book about what the title says, in my opinion.
Update: the book I was actually looking for is called
Buffet’s early investments by Brett Gardner
Not so oriented on the deals
