Chock full of facts

Dense read. Definitely not a book you can "skip" through. However, after having read many books on VC, I can easily say this is the best historical overview (up to 1991) of the US VC industry I know. A must-read if you're serious about understanding the VC industry, its past mistakes, and where it's going.
