I would agree with Preatorian2 about it's very similiar except that it does give the follow up of what happened to Livermore and goes into more detail of Livermore's trading style. The SMitten book breaks it down & it is For that reason I would give the thumbs up to the Smitten book and ignore Reminiscences, which had too little in it for me to be worth more than a quick perusal. There is no doubt about it, the part that Livermore wrote is pure genius
