THE FIRST BOOK EVER PUBLISHED ON THE FIELD OF SPECIAL SITUATIONS INVESTING. An unknown investment advisor, Maurece Schiller "was the first to collect diverse special situations (some known to be such and some not yet), define their common characteristics, and create a disciplined repeatable process for finding, evaluating and executing them. In short, Schiller first systematized the field of special situations. To call this merely “historically significant” in the investing world would be to label the Civil War a schoolyard dustup."
