Thanks Paritosh .. i have mailed your friends , lets see when he comes back
Congratulations Manish..
I have shared this on FB and tweet. I will also share about the Jagoinvestor Book vai e-mails.
Why not also sell PDF version of this book? Would be cheaper than paperback.
Thoughts?
But only one person will have to buy it then
I don’t agree with it. At least people will buy.
I agree with anirudh
Akhil
that will be decided by CNBC , which is the publisher
Manish
I hope kindle or kobo version will be available soon. Its easy to read from tab or smartphone.
Please tell me the content of book why should i buy it?
i may order it.

Thanks

Congrats!! shared on twitter and facebook. Sure the book gonna to be rocking success.
Just a thought.)
(One thought: Why does the book priced exorbitantly high at 499/-? Let keep aside the discounts from flipkart and crossword which wont be available for common people buying from bookstores. I think it is perennial behaviour by Network 18 publishers to design the book in rich manner and charge high price. I felt same with Subra’s Retire Rich book which priced at 399/-!!! Dont get me wrong, i am big fan of your team and subra and your content are very rich without an ounce of doubt. Despite improvement in middle class prosperity, I personally feel people are still price-conscious. I dont get why Network 18 cant keep content rich, design simple and charge in affordable manner so that it can reach lakhs and lakhs of common people and rake profits like Rupa publications are doing
I agree. This is driving people from real books to ebooks.
Jagadees
Yea I agree with you , the pricing part should really be less , but as you said , this part is done by CNBC , also their standard points are high quality papers , thik hard cover , good design and hence these things escalate the cost . however Rs 374 is not really that big price i guess.. in some more months or after a year , it will come down more !
These books are generally target at those who can really pay atleast 300-400
Manish
Have added the book in my shopping cart at crossword.in and Flipkart. com
Best of luck
Thanks Pankaj
Give your review after you read it

Hi Manish,
I just ordered through flipkart…and i was eagerly waiting for this when Nandish told this sometime back,
regards
shylesh, al ain, UAE
Shylesh
Good to hear that .. but does flipkart ship to UAE ?
Manish
No. they ship to my home address (calicut) and i will get it back through friends coming from calicut to use.
Hi Manish,
this crossword website is asking for Promotion Code. Whats that? If I dont put it ,Will I get the discount ?
These people may take 7-8 days for shipping So its more compoftable for me to pick up a copy from Crossword directly on 26Jan as I stay in Pune . In later Case will they Continue with the discount?
Regards,
Amol
Amol
Promotional code is codes which you have incase you have bought something earliar .. dont let it delay your decision
. For now you wont have any promotional codes
Offline purchasing might not get your any discount
Manish
Thanks manish!
just placed Order through crossword:-) . You know this is first time I booked from online and hope there will be many in future(from you).
However I have a doubt.
its Rs374 through flipcart and Rs364 through crossword then why people are ordering through flipcart.

Amol

Manish
yes, it happened. i tried on crossword also, but it was showing out of stock remark on that page. i remember, i had placed buy order for subra’s book on retirement and i had got,but this time , something is wrong , may be net speed, or something else! now i am going out of surat for some 15 days.i will try after coming back. of course i advised my family members for accepting the book with cash payment, by chance ,it would come through you as requested
Shared it on FB… Keep up the good work of spreading financial litracy !
Congrats Manish and thanks for the update.
You said 28th but flipkart still says pre-order? I had ordered ten days back and nothing. Is the date changed?
Ramh

Dont worry that much .. different distributors might have some delays at their end and it might become a few days delay .. so dont worry .. just wait for 2-3 more days .. it would be there ! . good to see you waiting for the book so desperately

Proud owner of your 1st book, Got the book yesterday (pre-ordered from Flipkart) Read 1st chapter yesterday only and all thanks to you for your articles and knowledge sharing, I am 27 yrs old and invested early for my future goals and also sharing the knowledge with my fellow friends so that it can help them too.
Keep on sharing, take care Manish.
Vivek
Good to hear that you got started and already early investing .. it will pay off very well in long run .
I would come back and ask you to share your feedback on flipkart
Manish,
Got the book delivered yesterday..will read it over the weekend.
Book Looks impressive……..The Content & quality of book looks good..Will let you know once I finish it.

Thanks for all your Info.
Suhas
Suhas
Good to hear that .. would wait till you complete your book and then would ask you for your detailed review , would appreciate if you can write one on flipkart
Ordered it 10minutes before @Flipkart. I am just 21(considering normal readership of such books consists of people older than me). Call it a coincidence, I got my DMAT activated yesterday. I hope I learn well and owe you the progress.
Vishwas
good to hear that you ordered the book .. keep me posted on how you are moving in your financial life .. ask questions .. best way to learn
Manish
I’ll surely ask, thanx!
The book stays true to it’s vision. It is not about the financial products but about financial principles. As the book says Financial products will change, Personal finance tools will change, Financial planning models will change, Strategies RARELY change and Principles NEVER change. .
The language is simple supported with great quotes, tables, charts, graphs etc. Every chapter ends with Flashback learning which recapitulates the essence of the chapter and 2 Hour Action plan to make one apply the concepts learnt. At Rs 499 it might seem a tad bit expensive. But if order at flipkart or crossword you get it at 376 Rs(25% saving). Publisher Network 18(The CNBC people) prints usually hardcover copy. I wish they would take out a cheaper paperback version. But the quality of book is awesome and illustrations mind-blowing.
While I would not agree with everything such as more asset allocation towards equity without considering risk profile of the investor, the book has some Wow or paisa vasool moments such as Simplifying the financial life.
Did a complete review of the book at Book Review-JagoInvestor:Change your relationship with money.
Great job Manish. Are there plans for another one!
Bemoneyaware
Thanks for detailed review , no plans for another book as of now .. but would love to do another one soon !
Dear Manish,
You have recognised me, I have raised the query on you new book cited above in facebook that is it different fron your old-articles in jagoinvestor.com, you replied that its different but I regret to inform you that 80% of contents are replicated from your old-articles but in new shape.
Moreover, while reading in the first chapter, I have observed that there is mis-calculation in Ajay’s investment as you have mentioned that he invests Rs 1500 per month @ 12% p.a. for the first 10 years and just lets this investment grow at the same rate for the next 20 years without making contributions later and he accumulates at the end for Rs 54 lakh. But while calculating the same the figure, it does not come whereas the same would be come as if he invests for the same for the first 20 years instead of 10 years(as you mentioned) and let this investment grow at the same rate for the next 10 years instead of 20 years(as you mentioned).
Suresh
I thought you are asking if the content was copy pasted , for which I said no its re-written . A lot of new additions are done in the book as well .
Regarding the mistake , yes , I came across that and seems that has happened despite proof checks. these are being rectified in next prints . thanks for making note of it and informing about it
Manish
I bought this book from flipkart. But really got disappointed, seeing lots of miscalculations in this book.
A proper proof reading should have done before printing.
For example on page 6 it says Rs3400 investment required per month to generate 5 crores in 35 years, assuming a 12 % return. If you calculate it will come out to be 2.20 crore.
If the returns are 15 % then only you can get over 5.05 crore.
Neeraj
Thanks for your comment and review .. I found out this mistake after the book was in print and one more reader told me about it . We checked things from our side two times , but not sure how this one happened. I am sure no more mistakes are there .. did you find any more ?
Manish
Hi Manish,
Ordered the book yesterday through FlipKart. Anxiously waiting for it to arrive.
Hope it will be a real good read.
Thanks
Sahil
Sahil
Good to hear that .. let me know how was it
. Also provide your feedback on flipkart 
I got the book within 2 days of ordering it, so Flipkart was quite fast.
I have started reading the book and found it very interesting (except for a few miscalculations which I read above, that could not be corrected on time).
Anyways I got the Jist out of those examples and liked them very much.
Thanks
Sahil
