Minding your money gets the Foolish treatment with Amazon.co.uk and The Motley Fool
Customers can now order The Motley Fool UK Investment Guide from the special Motley Fool area on the Amazon.co.uk web site. The book is currently the number one business best seller on Amazon.co.uk and has topped the charts since it was published on October 23 1998. Also available are two further Motley Fool UK books newly launched in October 1999: The Fool's Guide to Investment Clubs and The UK Investment Workbook.
The Amazon.co.uk Motley Fool page will offer UK-orientated books to help individual investors plan and execute financial decisions and untangle the latest market news. In future, as well as the latest books from The Motley Fool, customers can expect to see Foolish comment on the latest financial developments as well as Foolish reviews of other financial guides.
Colleen Byrum, managing director of Amazon.co.uk said, "This is great news for both UK book-buyers and potential investors who might be hesitant about dabbling in stocks or shares. At Amazon.co.uk we're always looking to extend the boundaries of book retailing to the benefit of our customers and I'm confident that this partnership with Motley Fool will add extra value to the information we already provide our customers."
James Kraft, The Motley Fool's chief European Fool adds: "Amazon.co.uk users are pretty savvy and they have money to invest. Like most people, though, they were never taught personal finance or investment. It's fun for us to work with a Foolish company like Amazon.co.uk and help their users learn how to make the most of their money."
