Please note that the contest is closed!
It’s been a while since we’ve done a book giveaway on this blog – too long! Between Mr. Cheap and I, we’ve managed to collect quite a few books. Some of them might be more suitable for presents but they are all worth a read (by someone). 🙂
Rules
Although we would love everyone to link to us, write a post about the contest, wash my car in order to enter the contest – you don’t have to. All you have to do is enter a comment or send an email to qffpillars at gmail dot com and you are in. I’d very much prefer that you enter a comment rather than use the email option.
The contest will end this Friday, August 29 at 8:00pm.
The books
The Four Pillars of Investing by William Bernstein. One of our favourite readers and commenters Nicolas has graciously donated a copy of this book which is my favourite.
Retire Rich From Real Estate by Marc W. Andersen. I thought this was a pretty good book for learning about real estate investing although Mr. Cheap wasn’t as impressed although he said it is a good book for beginners.
The Little Book of Value Investing by Christopher Browne. This book is great for value and dividend investors – if you are feeling down about your portfolios then this book might be a good pick-me-up! We posted a review here.
The Quiet Millionaire by Brett Wilder. This is a general personal finance book.
Please Send Money – Dara Duguay. This book is aimed at younger adults who don’t have much financial knowledge.
How it will work
I will pick seven people at random (there are 2 copies of the real estate book and Send Money) and will email them in order. The winners will get to choose which book they want out of the remaining books.

First! Great book list. A lot of them I’ve been meaning to pick up.
I have read only the first one and I have learned a lot about the fundamentals of investmenting
Great work,
I read your blog daily.
A book would really be appreciated .

They all look like great reads, especially 4 Pillars and Please Send $ which are on my list to read as a relative young one in the finance world (22 yrs). 🙂

Yay, free books!
Free books are always appreciated!
Sign me up as well! Thanks.
I have not read any of those so I will be happy to win.
So the winner gets all 5 books or are there 5 different winners?
I’m just getting started on my financial plan. Your blog and a couple of others (Canadian Capitalist, Million Dollar Journey) have been very informative and useful. I think I’m actually starting to enjoy this process!
Any other reading material that will help is much appreciated.
I’m interested.
If you pick me I’ll send my girlfriend over to wash your car.
Whoo hooo! Free books! I love free books. :o)
Cheers,

Thanks for your generosity. Include me in the draw, please. I’ve read The Little Book that Beats the Market and The Little Book that Makes You Rich. The former is much better than the latter, but both are worthwhile.
Keep up the good work. The book give aways are bonus.
Me like free books
Andrea – I added a section at the bottom of the post which explains how it will work.

Entry via email from JFC.
Terrific idea! I’m rooting for the Four Pillars book too, as it’s got a waiting list a mile long at the public library.
Would love to be entered!
Awesome site and I loe your blog, I am a faithful email subscriber! I hope I win the Please Send Money book for my daughter.

Always interested, I’ve very much enjoyed your blog, and I’ve just been getting into investing in the last couple of months. Your site, and the others in your network have been instrumental in my education. Thanks!
Sign me up please!
Thanks
Sign me up! If I promise to donate the book back after I’m done would that increase my odds?
Great list of books BTW
