The Intelligent Investor is quite a famous book; it's old, but the fundamentals haven't changed.

If you just need one book in value investing, than make it this one in my personal opinion. If you search this book is one of the most recognisable books in Value Investing.

Many Hedge Funds,Even Warren Buffet himself recommend this Book.

You could get the Kindle Ed as low as £9.99.

The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham

Benjamin Graham is Warren Buffet's mentor. He is an economics and finance professor as well as an active investor / fund manager. So it is  evidenced that he knows both theory and practice.

The basic of Value Investing has never changed. Also Fundamental Analysts does not change a lot. So even it is already very old it is still relevant to the the current investing.

But certainly it is not suitable for people who want to learn growth investing rather than value investing, as well as for people who want to further develop to learn technical Analysis.

Yes but they require some knowledge to identify those that have any real value.  For example many of these are US based where the investment situation is very different.  Some may a vested interest or a pet theory they wish to publicise.  Others are produced by people like the guy who regularly published "The Great Crash of 20xx", xx being updated each year.

Just Google "SkillShare stockmarket for beginners" or similar. Loads of videos out there for beginners with zero pre-knowledge.

Have to agree, I’ve read a lot of them and this is the one I took the most from. I wish I had read it when I started working at 17, rather than early 30’s, but hey ho.
