I believe most of the books in the library have been somewhat vetted or they wouldn't have purchased them for agents.I also know that there are investor oriented materials as I know many Realtors that have spoken about so and so's method or system and a few Realtors attempt to incorporate investor tactics into thier business.I was hoping some of the established investors here would provide some suggestion, not only as to a book but what to dig for, what interests you or the majority.

Beyond that there are many different style and types of investing.

Very tourism oriented.
