Upcoming Reviews: Health Care on Less Than You Think & The Single Best Investment
Keep your eyes open (or subscribe to the RSS feed) for reviews of two books that are currently nestled up together on my “nightstand.” They are Fred Brock’s Health Care on Less Than You Think by Fred Brock and The Single Best Investment: Creating Wealth with Dividend Growth by Lowell Miller.
Health Care on Less Than You Think investigates “the best insurance options available, offering a one-stop guide to maximizing your coverage will minimizing your costs.” (from the back cover). Fred Brock also wrote Retire on Less Than You Think and Live Well on Less Than You Think, neither of which I’ve even heard of honestly, but I think all you frugalists will probably be interested in the review and those other books. One point worth noting is that all four books are priced at around $10 on Amazon.com.
The Single Best Investment: Creating Wealth with Dividend Growth is written by a professional money manager who happens to be the President of Miller/Howard Investments. So what does the dust jacket say? “The Single Best Investment shows you exactly how professional portfolio manager Lowell Miller goes about selecting stocks that can provide high income and outperform the market averages…” Nice!
I’ll probably post a review on the Health Care On Less (~200 pages) first only because it’s a little “lighter” than The Single Best Investment (~250 pages), which will probably take a little longer to get through.
Oh, and I have two extra copies of both books so whoever comes up with the best method of giving these away (something clever!) can get their pick of one and I’ll give the other three away. I reserve the right to not pick any of the suggestions. ![]()

How about you give the books to whoever comes up with the best new blog post topics for you?
Tina… are you saying you don’t like my topics?
I think you should give them to people whose names start with the letter A.
Jim,
Since you have been writing several posts relating to your PF college series lately, I think you should give the books away to college students who can give you an interview or something along those lines relating helpful information from current college students. I am a college senior, majoring in finance, who will be graduating with about a 10,000 surplus. No debt whatsoever, and no my parents did not help me out. I would be glad to share how I accomplished this all for the low, low price of….one free book! Sounds like a bargain, huh?

Tina — I’m with you!!!! New topics!!! New topics!!!!!!
In keeping with the theme of one of the books, why don’t you get people to tell you what their single best investment has been?
Get everyone to leave links to their own blog post describing their single best investment (or leave a description in the comments if they don’t have a blog), and you pick the best three to win the books. Or maybe pick the best, the strangest, and the funniest or something.
Not only would you get lots of interesting stories which might inspire more articles, you could make it a condition that each entry links back to your competition announcement. You’d get some nice backlinks and reach out to lots of new readers.
