Well obviously you've got to bring it back in perfect condition. Every book has already been pulled out of the box, thrown on the floor, and shoved onto the shelf before the customer ever gets a good of it, so who cares? People who buy new books are retarded anyways.

The only 2 you will ever need.

>Are all these finance and business books actually legit?
No. Nobody became successful using self help books, and the people who actually are successful would never share what actually worked for them.

If all those books are legit, how come you're still poor?

>>16115607
just because you're a selfesh and spiteful piece of shit doesn't mean everyone else is

Start meticulously borrowing books that aren't uploaded to http://gen.lib.rus.ec and then scan them and upload them yourself. Make sure every new book is available to the masses for free.

>Will any of them really help me think and grow rich, so to speak?

yep. just reading the books per se won't make you rich, but they will give you more information on how to achieve your goals.

different books give different tips, not everything is true and valuable, but lots of stuff certainly is.

if you are a beginner start with rich dad poor dad, that's really the best starter imo

I recently (20 years ago) started browsing internet and one of the perks is that you can borrow pretty much any book in existence, like the ultimate library. I found it extremely useful. There are also memes.

One of the bigger problems in finance literature is to determine if a text is indeed crap/scam/bullshit/pseudo-science/etc. Over the years I likely skimmed through around 3000 books with relations to finance and trading. If hard pressed what to look for to determine yay from nay, well, I guess this could act as a first red flags list:

trading psychology
technical Analysis
trader's mindset
Fibonacci levels
adherence to strict rule following
appeal to a trading system
pseudo-system of money management is layed out as being the only way to preserve capital
overemphasizing of volume(indicators)/market 'footprint'
trading journal
candlesticks presented as the right/only way to look at prices
evocation of proper due diligence - due diligence then is technical analysis only
reference to absurd/arcane/esoteric writings of people from the past giving the impression of a historical tradition or a lost art/method/etc. long lost and known/understood only to few today
CFDs
point-and-figure-charts sold as a method
(the right) commitment/state of mind
Metatrader
free (historical/realtime) market data
Elliot Wave
Bollinger Bands
Heikin Ashi
Follow the trend
Pattern Recognition
Moving Averages
RSI
overemphasizing of academic titles
nothing in the cv of the author has anything to do with a quantitative education or work
phd in psychology
GANN
no proven track record
Dow Theory
Astrology

CMT/C.M.T.
recipe for success (mentioned literally or in conclusion of the material presented)
Head-and-Shoulder-formation
Holy Grail/there is no Holy Grail/There is a Holy Grail
Pivot Points
tape reading
triangle
(yet another) product or market is presented as being fundamentally different
drawing-random-pseudo-technical-stuff-in-a-chart presented as the hard work as precondition to successful trading
author has own homepage where coaching/education/courses/memberships (eg. newsletters, trading rooms) can be bought
source for market data (charts etc.) in own publication is of dubious origin (i.e. not reuters/bloomberg)
picture of author as part of the book in which author looks like successful/cheap salesman/used car dealer
quotes by recognizable figures of history as part of the book
testimonials
selling a system/method/indicator
any mention of 'transitioning', 'success' or 'becoming full time daytrader'
high-probability this-or-that
author claims to be successful (sic!) daytrader
others are cited to claim author is a successful daytrader
