The Investor's Shelf — one person

John Train

American investment adviser who founded Train, Smith Counsel and wrote profiles of the era's leading money managers.

The Money Masters profiled Buffett, Graham, Templeton and Price while several were still working, setting out each manager's method in a few pages and establishing the format every later investor-profile book uses. Famous Financial Fiascos covers the reverse case, running through manias and frauds from the tulip trade onward.
