The perspective.
Klarman's framework places the preservation of capital and the discipline of purchase price at the center of investing. Read the book as an examination of process under uncertainty, not as a catalog of presently available bargains. Its scarcity as a physical book also makes the purchasing decision unusually important: a high resale price is not evidence of educational necessity.
