Book Description

Betty Garrett's memoir is a tale of grace under pressure. It's a lovely, moving song of survival.--Studs Terkel

Customer Reviews:

Very, very good celebrity autobiography.......2004-09-12

If you like reading celebrity autobiographies, and you even have a passing interest in this actress, don't miss this book. It really is a very engrossing read. She speaks of her life in a very honest and forthcoming fashion, and she has had quite an interesting life, the most dramatic part being the blacklisting of her actor husband, Larry Parks, in the 1950's, and her "guilt by association."

Also, if you happen to be a fan of either Lloyd, Beau, and/or Jeff Bridges, you should know that Betty and Larry are/were(Larry is deceased) very close to this family -- Betty is Jeff Bridges' godmother.

So, if you know Betty from her movie work (she tells such a funny story about Frank Sinatra, from when they were filming "On the Town"), her stage work, or her TV work on "All in the Family" and "Laverne and Shirley," I think you will more than appreciate this book.

I hope you read this and enjoy it as much as I did!

betty's the best!.......2004-01-21

betty garrett was the best in those mgm movies and she could have been so much more famous

Lovely book from a lovely lady!.......2001-08-26

Betty's wit, wisdom and reflections prove that there's a lot more to her than a pretty face and wise-cracks. Talent, sensitivity and grace make her a beautiful author with something important to say. Show business enthusiasts and historians alike will greatly enjoy her story. And, since her career is enjoying a recent resurgence, we can only hope she'll write a sequel, soon!

Beautifully written........2001-08-17

I have loved the movies of both Betty Garrett and Larry Parks for years, and now feel that I have read their love story. Betty's descriptions of her multi-faceted career and personal life were written with humor, warmth, and love. She and Larry endured the 'unofficial' blacklist and other obstacles together, and showed what "in good times and in bad" really meant. I admire and adore them both even more now. Her book is a wonderful read and her career isn't even over.

Great Book!.......2001-02-07

I like Betty Garrett very much! From Laverne & Shirley, All In The Family-very funny! I like that the book is her autobiography! I can't wait to read all about the life & times of the lovely Betty Garrett! I also have David L. Lander's autobiography & the unofficial Penny Marshall book! Any one who's a fan of "Laverne & Shirley" e-mail me @: tiff_lisatony7@yahoo.com. We can chat about Betty, Penny, David, Cindy, Michael, Phil, & evrything else related to "Laverne & Shirley".

Typical repertoire book.......2007-03-19

It's the typical opening book. Not too much material, not too deep analysis, but a good job. Of course this book is from white point of view, as the title tell us.
Kotronias go on just analyzing games in a kind of repertoire tree, but the analysis are good.
I've just prepared myself for a game against a 2000 fide player. I have spent just 3 hours on the main line after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 d6 4.Nf3 Nxe4 5.d4 d5 6.Bd3 Bd6 7.0-0 0-0 8.c4 c6 (i knew my opponent played this line, but i didn't know how he play against 9.cxd5). In the game at move 13 my opponent went out of theory playing a weak move, i entered a clear advantage position, knowing the basic ideas of the line better then black.
(Eventually i didn't won since it was a team game and the draw was ok for us.)

Book Description

Unknown to most modern-day investors and traders who cherish Reminiscences of a Stock Operator as one of the most important investment books ever written, the material first appeared in the 1920s as a series of articles and illustrations in the Saturday Evening Post. Now, for the first time ever, this beloved classic is being made available in its original, illustrated format.

You'll track the exploits of Jesse Livermore as he won and lost tens of millions of dollars playing the stock and commodities markets during the early 1900s. At one point, he made the then astronomical sum of 10 million dollars in just one month of trading!

Originally published as a fictionalized account, the Illustrated Edition combines the Saturday Evening Post's memorable illustrations with Edwin LeFevre's timeless investment advice, recreating the look, feel, and message that was first published more than 80 years ago. Among the most compelling and enduring pieces ever written on trading, the new Illustrated Edition brings this story to life like never before. Order your copy today.

Horrible service from Amazon with sending this book.......2007-09-05

I ordered this book 2 months ago. After weeks in shipping they sent it to a random address in a different state, and offered a refund. I got my refund and ordered it again, it's now been exactly one month and the package is still stuck somewhere in a different state, with no shipping update for a week. And now they e-mailed me asking for a review.......sure I'd love to review it, if you ever get me the product I ordered two months ago! Thumbs down.

A TIMELESS TRUTH.......2007-07-26

Reminiscences of Stock Operator is a classical works that testifies that the psychological and technical aspects that moves the market has not changed even to this present day... The beauty of the fictional story based on the greatest of minds that traded in the market and made millions and lost fortunes speaks very vividly to us today from their wisdom and experience... I have found the book to be full of wisdom, education and guidance that the financial markets is not a game to be played on the hopes of getting rich for nothing...To be successful requires the greatest discipline on our ourselves..And in the game of speculation this book let us know that the financial markets owes us nothing and that we can't force our hands...

As valid today as ever.......2007-04-28

As I read this book I wondered if it was written recently, as most books written in the last couple decades seem to have the same info, including the 'newly discovered' psychology of trading. Save a ton of money and buy this book first. Then you may not want any of the others. It's well written, though the author's whole intent is to prove no one can 'beat' the market, which is a little discouraging. I mean, after all, I think I will. Everyone interested in trading should read this early in their career, if not first.

A must read.......2007-02-04

As useful in the mad 1920's and 30's as it is today! Every trader should read it... at least twice. If you're into Hedge funds, Private Equity or Asset Management, you should probably read it not less than 3 times - in between the lines!

Essential reading... a true classic.......2007-01-09

If you asked most top traders for a list of their top 5 books on trading or investment psychology, I'd think this one would feature in over 90% of them. It's definately one of the most entertaining.

This book, the thinly disguised biography of trading Jessie Livermore is a real page turner. I just couldn't put it down as I was fascinated by the tales and exploits he tells of his trading adventures from another era (although the content is every bit as relevant today). While it doesn't explain in any depth his trading mechanics (Wykoff's book does that, however, I wouldn't just pick up that book thinking I could copy his method without doing a substantial amount of research, testing and work, as did Livermore himself), it does give you insight into his trading philosophy and strategies. If you were to highlight the points relevant to trading psychology in this volume, you'd be highlighting almost every page.

If you enjoy this one, then make sure to get the other book on his life story (Jessie Livermore - The World's Greatest Trader) which is every bit as interesting - he was quite a character! (and vastly richer than I had thought from reading this book). That book outlines more of the personal side of his life than this one which is more focused on his trading advenutres. He certainly had a fascinating life, the kind of life most of us who begin trading hope it will provide. It's kind of sad that he died broke and alone, as I guess happens with many geniuses and artists.

Highly recommended. All the best with your trading.
