My preference is Buffettology by Mary Buffett, his ex daughter-in-law, in
 association with David Clark, 1997. 
You can't get all the data for a literal minded application to the NZ scene
but with a bit of imagination you can easily apply the principles.

Steer clear of the Buffett ones that just mindlessly quote his endless 
aphorisms without looking at his operational techniques. Buffett sayings only.
He doesn't actually write about them himself so it needs someone like 
Mary to write it up. 
There's quite an industry of coattailers selling stuff labelled Buffett in the 
hopes of making a quick buck by name association so you need to be discerning.

And another word of warning: Don't waste time and energy trying to convert 
people to Buffett (I tried and mostly failed), just take advantage of 'em on 
the sharemarket ;-). There's none so blind as those who don't want to see.
And after a bit of reflection you realise that we actually need an endless 
supply of run of the mill suckers and certified financial planners to make money
out of.

cheers,
Hugh
