A Great How-To, 2005-09-23
A great book on all aspects of starting a club. This is just what some friends and I are doing now - and I am so grateful that this book is available. It serves as a step-by-step "how to". Plus, it has great information on avoiding pit-falls and keeping club life fun and interesting.

Great Way to Get Started., 2005-07-21
As usual with the 'For Dummies' books, this one takes it easy. You can read it pretty quickly, it starts out quite simply and builds slowly. You don't think you're getting as much information as you are until you've finished.
Again as usual, this book is written by a couple of people who combine personal experience with a casual relaxed writing style. (For what it's worth, I've tried writing like this and it isn't easy.)
Most of us thinking about investment clubs already have some investing experience and think that we might be able to teach the club a lot. Most of us learn that the other people in the club can teach us a lot. Investment clubs attract the advanced amateur who bring specialized knowledge, their own experience, and above all enough questions that you might have forgotten to ask to make it well worth your while.
Great Way to Get Started.

Clear, concise and compelling, 2004-05-16
I just got through reading a number of books on investing. I had heard of the investment club movement. I did not know much about them. This book is a gem.
True to the series, it does have a gentle learning slope; there is nothing overwhelming, no challenging concepts. But it does break down the process of starting and running a club into clear, manageable pieces. I now want to start a club!
The investment philosophy is compelling. I would certainly encourage anyone interested in starting an investment club to read this book.

Investment Clubs for Dummies: Clear, Thorough, Enjoyable, 2002-08-16
This book answered all of the questions I had about investment clubs. Written in a casual, easily accessible way, this book gave precise and detailed information about founding or finding a club.
In the book, you'll learn about what work is actually involved with club membership; tips on assembling a group of committed people to be in a club with (plus tips on how to deal with troublesome member issues); and how to find and use investment and investment club resources to learn more about investing and to help keep your club running smoothly.
Whether you are simply interested in what investment clubs are and how they work, or you are serious about starting or joining an investment club, this book is a clearly written and fun way to learn about clubs. By going through each step of starting or becoming involved with an investment club, by dissecting the language of the legal documents your club must maintain, and by providing examples of actual investment clubs, this book covers it all, and will be an invaluable resource for the life of your club.
