Judging a book by its cover may be considered ill advised, but in the case of Andy Kessler, his books really do what the title says they will.
Kessler's first book, Wall Street Meat - My Narrow Escape from the Stock Market Grinder, described his time served as an equity analyst in the 1990s. The cover featured a bull with a diagram of butcher's cuts labelled "Jack Grubman, Frank Quattrone, Mary Meeker, Henry Blodget and me!" superimposed. His latest, Running Money: Hedge Fund Honchos, Monster Markets and My Hunt For the Big Score, describes his time as a hedge fund manager during the internet/telecommunications bubble that popped in 2000. The cover again features a bull, resembling even more closely the famous bronze statue on Wall Street.
