Chapter-by-chapter treatments, in original words, only for the handful of books that reward that depth. The full roster is listed here for reference; one is a worked sample, the rest are planned. Each chapter: the idea, the picture, the money words, a worked example, and where people slip. Study guides, not the books — no affiliation, private use.
The existing Lynch guide — its structure is the template for all the others.
Peter Lynch
The model guide — its five-part chapter structure (the idea, the picture, the money words, the worked example, where people slip) is the template every other guide here follows.

The five that most reward chapter-level depth.
Philip Tetlock & Dan Gardner
How ordinary people make measurably better predictions — by scoring themselves, thinking in probabilities, and updating in small steps. Directly upgrades the journal and the quiz calibration.
William Poundstone
Kelly, Shannon and Thorp as one narrative — the position-sizing foundation, and the most enjoyable book on the whole list.
Chapters not yet authored — listed for reference.
Pulak Prasad
The best investing book written by an Indian fund manager. Central rule: avoid permanent loss rather than seek winners, and almost never sell.
Chapters not yet authored — listed for reference.
Michael Mauboussin & Alfred Rappaport
The formal version of syllabus Part Eight — reading what the price already implies, instead of forecasting the business in isolation.
Chapters not yet authored — listed for reference.
Edward Thorp
The blackjack-then-markets memoir of Edward Thorp — also a very good book about how to think.

Built only once the format proves out.
Howard Marks
Marks on risk, cycles and second-level thinking, distilled from the Oaktree memos.
Chapters not yet authored — listed for reference.
Peter Bevelin
Munger's mental models, organised properly — a map of the biases and models that recur across the syllabus.
Chapters not yet authored — listed for reference.
John Kay & Mervyn King
The mature version of Taleb's argument, without the abrasion — decision-making when the future is genuinely unknowable, not merely risky.
Chapters not yet authored — listed for reference.
John Rothchild
Three generations of compounding — and the finding that structure and behaviour mattered more than stock selection.
Chapters not yet authored — listed for reference.
Christopher Mayer
What the rare hundred-fold winners had in common — reinvestment runway, durable returns, and the patience to hold.
Chapters not yet authored — listed for reference.
Benoit Mandelbrot
Why the standard risk models understate tail risk — Taleb's intellectual source. Promote to a full guide only if the fractal-markets argument earns chapter depth beyond the 'fat tails' principle.
Chapters not yet authored — listed for reference.
Nassim Taleb
Luck-versus-skill, survivorship, alternative histories. Note: its core ideas already run through the syllabus and the Taleb principles — extract as principles first; build the guide only if it adds argument the modules do not carry.
