This book, useful for both the novice and the more advanced investor, provides a thorough overview of almost every type of investment (including bonds, annuities, life insurance, etc.) and an comprehensive glossary of investment terms. It is handy when it comes to looking up unfamiliar terms and is an enjoyable overall read. The book also contains a listing of brokerages, banks, etc. with phone numbers and addresses. It is probably the authoritative volume on investing, which is to be expected coming from Barron's. It's definitely well worth it!

Being a beginner of an investing guy, this book is very useful for reading any article about economics, investment and finance. You can look up all the specil terms in this one. A perfect handbook!

This is a very comprehensive reference book. I use it all the time. It is a must for investors, economists, etc.

This is a book you keep within hands reach. I'm an investor of stocks, real estate and businesses. There are so many "terms" for business and not everyone uses them properly. I constantly refer to my Finance & Investment Handbook and it gives me the knowledge I need to operate my business. The definitons are simple to understand and it has a great "Abbreviations & Acronyms" section.

Excellent, extensive compendium reference for the investor and professional alike. A crash course for a novice. A must for every library.

I used this book for teaching finance to undergraduates at an Ivy League school, and it was a big hit! The subject is written clearly, and the content is both relevant and comprehensive.

It did not ship well. There was no packing slip for which to return it.
Since I obtained a copy elsewhere, I'll just keeep it. So, I'm not
satisfied. I won't buy from them again.

I ordered this book and it came in a timely fashion and in great shape. I will do it again.
