OnePageIt is always informative to see what books Abnormal Returns readers are buying and April is no exception. Earlier this month we rounded up some of our many book links in a standalone post. As you can see below the impact of our late March three-part (one, two, three) Q&A with Carl Richards author of the newly published The One-Page Financial Plan: A Simple Way to Be Smart About Your Money continues to resonate with readers. As always you can check out last month’s list here. We now presents sales two ways: the first is by unit sales and the second way is by revenue which can be significantly different. Here are the books (combined print and Kindle) that Abnormal Returns readers purchased at Amazon during April 2015:
