This review is from: The Financial Times Guide to Using the Financial Pages (Financial Times Management Series) (Paperback)

When I bought this book I didn't think that this "Financial
Times guide..." was for reading European markets. Make sure
you know that, this book is for European markets before buying
it. There is no help in the web page description telling you.
The definitions are well written and can be use for general use.
The references are to the European exchanges. The information
to those markets a good.

The book is good those who plan to or are investing
in European market, and those want learn general investment
terms.
