Well worth a read for most ordinary investors
As an ordinary investor, I could see gold and silver are rising but I didn't know much about how to get into it. This book is written from the viewpoint of someone exactly like me, who wants to invest in gold and/or silver, and whose main priorities are safety and low cost. What I really liked about this book was that it was short and straight to the point, explaining why gold is rising (although he explains it's actually paper money losing its value), and how we can all invest at low cost. Well, I own a few sovereigns, but I'd Never even heard of internet gold before! It really benefits from it's simple jargon, being short and to the point, and lack of complex charts. Definitely Recommended for all normal investors out there, which is most of us.

Unfortunately I regret purchasing this self-serving advert...
This is one of those thin books with double spaced text and took me under 30 mins to read. It's published by the author himself but that "shouldn't" necessarily mean low quality...

"How to Invest in Gold and Silver" appears to rely heavily on the fact that it is for the novice investor who "has never considered having precious metals in [their] portfolio". It seems the author has used this stated 'target' to allow him to go into no depth in any of the topics covered. For example, ETFs are given 3.5 pages of double spaced text by way of coverage, spread-betting only 1.5 pages and futures 1.5 pages. Even a novice needs more than this.

In addition, it seems that much of the information included is merely filler between the plugs for the authors own website which appear, by my calculations, approximately every 8 pages - once even to get the reader to open an account with a particular online broker who are, coincidentally, currently offering £50 per new account if you sign other people up.

Having said this, the small amount of information that is presented is clear and simple to understand.

I would recommend beginners visit investopedia and/or several other free online resources for their initial research and then purchase more heavyweight texts to get in-depth and thorough information.
