We looked at the top books of 2018 as chosen by ValueWalk readers from January through November 05, 2018 based on total sales.  We listed them from most sales and went through about 20+ top names. A few were ties which we noted – these are mostly classics but also a few unexpected names so make sure to check it out and see if you can find any good deals on them.

Additionally, we have an up to date full guide of books recommended by famous investors like Klarman, Munger, Greenblatt, dalio etc – check it out right here

Disclosure: We earn an affiliate fee if you purchase the book through these links it’s not enough to buy a new Windows PC and probably not enough to afford a copy of Margin of Safety but hopefully enough to obtain a copy of Dow 36,000.
