First-edition hardcover of Roger Montgomery’s Value.Able (2010, My 2 Cents Worth Publishing, Australia) in very-good, unmarked condition—complete with its original dust jacket—has become the go-to text for investors who want a home-grown, step-by-step guide to valuing ASX-listed companies. Montgomery distils two decades of professional fund management into an accessible checklist that shows readers how to spot durable competitive advantage, calculate owner earnings and buy with a margin of safety. Because the book is written from an Australian tax and accounting perspective, local readers can apply the ratios and templates directly to their own portfolios without needing to translate U.S. GAAP or IRS rules.
What sets Value.Able apart from imported investing manuals is its worked examples using familiar names such as Woolworths, CSL and BHP, plus the downloadable Excel calculators that accompany each chapter. The tone is conversational—more “mentor over coffee” than university lecture—so even newcomers finish with the confidence to open a brokerage account and run the numbers themselves. Seasoned traders value the concise one-page “Montgomery Scorecard” that can be applied in minutes to filter the All-Ordinaries for true value plays.
Collectors prize this first printing because later reprints dropped the distinctive full-stop in the title and switched to paperback. A clean, un-inscribed copy with a pristine dust jacket is increasingly scarce in the secondary market, making this copy both a practical reference and a shelf-worthy keepsake for anyone serious about Australian equities, personal finance or value-investing education.
