This is a basic book. If you are trying to introduce someone to investing, this would have value. It uses concepts familiar to every man to explain that there is nothing amazing about good investing — it is just common sense sharply applied. In terms of deep insight, I don’t see a lot of it, but that is not what the book is aimed at. The book is for new investors looking to understand the markets.
There is much that is good here, but nothing deep. If you want to buy the book, you can buy it here: Why Are We So Clueless about the Stock Market? Learn how to invest your money, how to pick stocks, and how to make money in the stock market

David, you do a good job of introducing people at various levels of investment know how to suitable resources. In that vein, I wanted to mention that the delayed podcasts of Bloomberg’s daily “Taking Stock” show are a good resource: http://www.bloomberg.com/tvradio/podcast/takingstock.html
The radio show (with more commercials) is available on internet radio from 1-4 EST: http://www.bloomberg.com/audioplayers/playr_go.html?&clipName=Bloomberg%20Live%20Radio&clip=radio_live
