Good and clear explanation.

Content was good. Possibly needs updating re current environment. Cheap paper, fairly thick book so page turning a bit of a chore. Particularly useful for students?

a lucky transaction

I started work in the Financial sector so needed something to give me the basics. This book fitted the bill perfectly, there hasn’t been a word of phase that I haven’t been able to find in this book. Even has some sections on specials areas of finance to give you an over view of a certain subject, instead of just a few lines on the subject.

Comes in very handy ! Good book to have

Hard to say much about a dictionary! The dozen or so things I’ve looked up have been clearly covered and, where appropriate, there are cross-references to related terms. It’s pretty convenient, I trust the authorship more than a quick online search (which of course has its place too) and it’s clearly presented. No doubt dimensions are in the product info however, it’s approximately A5 size and around an inch thick.
Glad I bought this and I would recommend it to anyone with a less than perfect finance and banking lexicon.
For context, I am studying an MSc and pick it up regularly in the context of whatever else I may be studying for my corporate finance module.
