No doubt people reading about value investing would come across these books if they are delving into the backgrounds of these great investors.

Damn Right gives as much background about Charlie Munger as The Einstein of Money does for Ben Graham. Both of these men lived interesting lives and were broke at times, both these books are fun to read in my opinion and definitely help with understanding value investing.

I think people have basically forgotten about this book. Of course The Intelligent Investor has been read by all value investors, this book gives some interesting insight into Ben Grahams life and how he came about money management and value investing.

For example, he nearly went bust in the great depression and he took leverage early on. This book also highlights the era Ben Graham came from, we don't realise now how information starved everyone was back in his day.
