Gold is an investment that is almost unrivaled in its rich history as a store of wealth. Now one book seeks to tell the complete story of Gold – not only as an investment but as a metal with many interesting qualities and uses. “The Gold Series” by Visual Capitalist is a must have book for gold bugs, investment history buffs and those that are just plain curious.

“The Gold Series” is a beautiful 44 page book chocked full of gold history, uses and data. Perhaps the best part of the book however is that all the information is presented in entertaining infographics. If you aren’t familiar with infographics, they are a way to efficiently present complex information using engaging visuals and graphics. Quite often this style has been shown to improve the level and speed of comprehension of concepts. Since Visual Capitalist’s specialty is investment oriented infographics, the images and data inside the “Gold Series” book are first rate. (see sample pages below)

We highly recommend this book for investors interested in gold, or even as an entertaining investment oriented coffee table book.  In fact we purchased our copy today!
