Berkshire Hathaway Letters to Shareholders

Warren Buffett’s letters to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders, all sixty, 1965 to 2024, in one volume. Other books summarize him. Here is every letter, in order, as he wrote it, the mistakes included.

We typeset each letter from the original and restored the tables. Charts of Berkshire’s growth open the book, and indexes of topics, companies and people close it, so you can find every mention of float or See’s. Buffett agreed to the book on a handshake, and his office helped us find the letters that were missing. He keeps copies in his office.
