Larry Cunningham and Stephanie Cuba have composed The Playbill to the greatest Business Show on Broadway--make that Omaha--namely, the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meetings. Don't even think of attending without it. --Roger Lowenstein, Author, Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist. Oh to be in Omaha come the first weekend of May! This smart and engaging book gives you 44 expert opinions as to why you simply need to get there. --Carol Loomis, retired Senior Editor-at-Large, Fortune Magazine. An amazing collaboration. We know of no other company whose shareholders have teamed up to write a book about the experience. --Mario J. Gabelli, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, GAMCO Investors, Inc. A wonderful, readable book - and great fun - all about the greatest annual meeting in the world. --Andrew Kilpatrick, Author, Of Permanent Value: The Story of Warren Buffett. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to understand the whole Berkshire phenomenon. The essays are well-chosen and readable, and collectively they help explain why Berkshire is a unique company, in so many ways. -- Kevin LaCroix.
