4.0 out of 5 stars FINE DESCRIPTIVE DEFINITIONS, February 12, 2003

By	reviewer (Zurich, Switzerland.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dictionary of Business Terms (Barron's Business Guides) (Vinyl Bound)

Despite its small size, this well-structured dictionary did not stop at defining terms. It gave comprehensive descriptions (and explanations) whenever necessary. Its scope embraced all aspects of business: finance, management, commerce, accounting, and so on.
It is very portable and easy-to-use. Its 7,500 headwords included most terms which users are likely to encounter more often. All the important biz acronyms and jargons were included.
This is one dictionary that I will recommend for both students and business travellers. It is a reliable companion.
