From Library Journal
This reasonably priced, fact-filled title was originally issued less than a year ago ( LJ 9/1/86). The new edition contains essentially the same information, but it reflects changes brought about by the passage of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and other recent events. Statistical data for 1986 are included. Public, academic, and appropriate special libraries lacking the first edition should consider purchasing this additional source of basic business information.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Barron's Finance & Investment Handbook (5th ed) (Hardcover) This book, useful for both the novice and the more advanced investor, provides a thorough overview of almost every type of investment (including bonds, annuities, life insurance, etc.) and an comprehensive glossary of investment terms. It is handy when it comes to looking up unfamiliar terms and is an enjoyable overall read. The book also contains a listing of brokerages, banks, etc. with phone numbers and addresses. It is probably the authoritative volume on investing, which is to be expected coming from Barron's. It's definitely well worth it! Comment | | (Report this)
