I found Robert Kiyosaki books in the library and online, I just read some pages of them, what's your opinion about this author?

Are his books worth the price ?

Thanks

Probably not, if you believe the number of web sites saying that his programs are scams, and the advice he gives is fraudulent and/or illegal.

I've never heard of the guy before, so I did a web search on his name. Third in the list of suggested search strings is "robert kiyosaki scam". Check this one - http://www.scamsgalore.com/robert-kiyosaki.html. It mentions that his company went bankrupt in 2012, not a good sign for someone who makes a living advising people how to get rich.

Aren't you able to do a web search on your own?

The price of a library card? Looks to be mostly a showman. A kind of late night infomercial type. Stick to better and free sources like Investopedia, US News Money, Forbes, Wisebread, Bankrate...
