Buffett Bio Countdown: 48 Days
Pardon the language! HERE IS one book with his cooperation….
Morning Call: August 13
Get ready to pee all over yourself: the greatest story ever told will be out Sept. 29. And not to overfroth, but we’re already putting the finishing touches on the red velvet pillow and surrounding red velvet ropes in the offices of Trader Monthly where our copy of the book will lie.
The long-awaited authorized biography of billionaire investor Warren E. Buffett, the first written with his cooperation, is scheduled for release on September 29, the publisher says.
The 976-page book is being written by former Morgan Stanley insurance analyst Alice Schroeder, and is titled “The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life,” publisher Bantam Dell Publishing Group said, according to Reuters.
Ms. Schroeder first met Mr. Buffett while working as an analyst, and covered Buffett’s insurance and investment company, Berkshire Hathaway.
According to the publisher, Ms. Schroeder has spent “thousands of hours” with Mr. Buffett, talking about his life and career, and winning broad access to his files and friends.
The book had been scheduled for a May release in conjunction with Berkshire’s annual shareholder meeting, but was delayed.
Its title comes from a reported comment by Mr. Buffett: “Life is like a snowball. The really important thing is finding wet snow and a really long hill.”
Ms. Schroeder’s book earlier had the title “The Snowball: How Warren Buffett Collected Friends, Wisdom and Wealth.”
