I am so happy to announce that Investment Atlas by Kenneth G. Winans received five top honors  in the 2009 Next Generation Indie Book Awards. It was the winner in the Finance category and was a finalist in Best Overall Design, Business, History, and Coffee Table Book.

Ken said, “Winning in 2009 is especially sweet, because of all the great finance books written during these tumultuous times.

Investment Atlas is a reference book disguised as an artistic, colorful, coffee-table includes the performance and characteristics of stocks, bonds, commodities, real estate, and collectibles since 1800.

Cocreating Investment Atlas with Ken was a joyful process. He is an “anal” numbers guy with a great sense of humor.  His collection of old stocks and bonds are used throughout the book. Many thanks to Rik Rice for his design expertise.

Ken’s first book, Preferreds: Wall Street’s Best-Kept Income Secret, was a winner in the Best Book Awards for 2007 by USA Book News.
