Investor Library

You don't need shelves of thick, complicated textbooks to become a better, smarter investor.

All you need are the big ideas found inside the AAII Investor Library.

Each of these three books is written by our editorial staff, in the clear, understandable style you expect from AAII publications. We've made liberal use of charts, graphs and tables to explain and illustrate important concepts. And we use actual stock, bond and mutual fund examples, so you can more easily grasp how to "do the math" for your own situation.

If you want to increase your investment success—if you want to have a ready reference to help you with virtually any investment decision—these are the books to own. You can order one, two, three, or all four books at entirely no risk, because your purchase is backed by AAII's no-quibble Money-Back Guarantee.
