Whitney Tilson and John Heins co-authored the book, The Art of Value Investing: How the World’s Best Investors Beat the Market.

The New Yorks Times reviewed the book as follows, “John Heins and Whitney Tilson, co-founders of the Value Investor Insight newsletter, have done a thorough job of explaining how to look for stocks that are trading at significant discounts to what they are worth — the concept known as the value style of investing.…the authors present a clear framework for ferreting out undervalued companies.”
