A small but surprisingly comprehensive dictionary defining over 5,000 terms. The sturdy binding will hold up to a great deal of travel. A very practical and inexpensive gift for any business person or anyone interested in finance and investment.

It was during the time I worked as an auditor in one of those "big five" audit companies that I first "touched" this dictionary. Every colleague had one copy (the pocket size is quite useful !) and I realized its importance to help me understand some financial terms that were unfamiliar even for those working in the field. I recommend everybody to buy the whole Barron's Guides dictionaries ( banking terms, business terms and accounting terms ) due the quality of the work and also because they have an affordable price.

This is one little book that is worth it's weight in gold! The text not only defines words, it explains them too. Although it is a excerpt from the massive BARRON's HANDBOOK, this professionally bound soft cover book is easier to wield- it should be a part of every investors library!
