"UK Trader's Bible" - free as pdf, online

[Jack o'Clubs]

Not sure what it's doing here, how long it will stay up or if it's even legal from a copyright perspective, but a bit of random Googlage had me finding this little gem earlier this morning:

http://www.matthewlake.plus.com/studies/The UK Trader's Bible.pdf

It's not any use for people looking for strategies, holy grails, etc. but for anyone interested in the plumbing of the UK stock market it is a really useful guide even if a few things have changed since it was published in 2005 - covers everything from how stock borrowing works, to the Takeover Code, to the daily auction, and everything else you were afraid to ask....

I don't wanna be a sanctimonious bugger but ffs, we're traders

Ok, there are two ways of looking at that... maybe cause of that we should take anything at a cheap price... but way I look at it is the book is chump change and unless original author is cool with this I just think this isn't on, we should pay them!

Don't get me wrong, I'm not reporting it or anything... I say we should all do by our conscience, and perhaps yours says that information should be free due to 0 marginal cost... it's an understandable opinion, and neither of us are "right"... I have some very unusual views on other matters of conscience... I just disagree here and I'm saying my piece

(On the other hand, I'm pirating the **** out of medley at every opportunity, cause they're *****)

So you're, basically, an inconsistently sanctimonious bugger who trades?

Touché... You're an inconsistently sanctimonious troll.

yes I'll have ot for 0 marginal cost, but somewhere along the line it WASN'T zero marginal cost.

but on the other hand, the incentive to write a book is not only money, its also ego. so there will always be something of an incentive to write a book (just look at how many bloody trading blogs there are! most of em crap).

the other part is publishing, but because of the internet anyone can publish what they want. But anything really goos will published due to demand.

So the only problem is "will the people who really have good things to write stop doing because they don't get the money anymore?"

IMO at the end a pdf file is not a book , maybe i take some informations from it and read some pages but i am for sure will not read 380 pages on pdf ,if i want the book and i like it i will buy it ...

Ironically I do actually have the (paid for) original on my bookshelves somewhere. This link came up as the second or third listing when I was googling for the LSE rules for market makers.
