This is a very interesting and basic book about Venture Capital industry. It does inform you some tips about what kind of skills and career path that you should take before joining in. Also, it provides and introductory level of terms and vocabulary for you to get used to before trying to get in a VC firm.

I do not recommend just to read this book alone as a way to have a strong idea of the industry. You should read a lot of other materials spread all over the Internet so you can really have a better idea if you really do want to invest your time and money into the career of a VC.
