Recommendations you can check.
by Seth Klarman
Who uses, recommends or left Margin of Safety, in their own words: each a verbatim quote with a link to where it was said.

I have previously written a blog post on Seth Klarman that included some quotes from his excellent book Margin of Safety.
Griffin applies Klarman’s margin-of-safety idea to voting, and points readers at the book itself.

Five other books that deserve to be read and reread many times are Seth Klarman’s Margin of Safety: Risk-Averse Value Investing Strategies for the Thoughtful Investor; Joel Greenblatt’s You Can be a Stock Market Genius: Uncover the Secret Hiding Places of Stock Market Profits; The Aggressive Conservative Investor by Martin J. Whitman, Martin Shubik, and Gene Isenberg; John Mihaljevic’s The Manual of Ideas: The Proven Framework for Finding the Best Value Investments; and Mohnish Pabrai’s The Dhandho Investor: The Low-Risk Value Method to High Returns.
Spier's standing 'My Favorite Books for Investing and Life' page; no publication date shown, so the date is the sitemap lastmod for the page.
Every entry is a verbatim quote and a link to the public post it came from. Nothing is paraphrased. If it is not on record somewhere public, it is not here.
The verdict is what they actually said: loved and liked are explicit; recommended means they told others to get it; uses means they only say they use it; read is a book on their public shelf with no verdict; mixed and disliked are kept too.
A dashed affiliate link, sponsored or their own label means the post disclosed a relationship. It is shown, never hidden.
The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is for its kind of thing.
The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is, for its kind of thing. Fully green is recent. It drains a quarter at a time as the post gets older, and is empty once it reads as dated.
What counts as old depends on the thing. A laptop praised four years ago has been replaced twice; a book loved twenty years ago is probably still loved. The shading is gone after about:
Stripes mean the post carries no date and the date shown is an estimate. No date at all, no shading.
