Editorial Reviews

Review

"With a history of 67 years, and now into its tenth edition, this substantial work, containing nearly 4,200 entries, can be considered the pre-eminent encyclopedia in its field . . . it certainly deserves to be in the stock of the larger reference libraries, especially those providing a commercial business information service. I would also expect to find it in the libraries of business schools, and of course the major offices of banks and other financial institutions. It should also be a useful reference resource for students of banking." - Reference Reviews "All business collections need to consider this updated edition of the Encyclopedia of Banking & Finance." - Reference Books Bulletin "The title word 'encyclopedia' has always well characterized this publication: it provides comprehensive definitions. Scholars, practitioners, or members of the general public trying to answer a question arising from the many facets of banking and finance should find this edition important for both historical and current information. Public, professional and academic libraries at all levels." - Choice --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
