Format:Vinyl Bound
This is a useful reference for anyone working in the banking industry. However it is not that comprehensive and a number of fairly standards strutures such as CLNs, CDOs, FRODOs, TRSs are not touched on at all. "Credit Derivatives" gets a very broad definition with very few specifics. It may be more appropriate to more traditional banking as it is strong in the area of mortgages, loans, deposits etc, but even here some common terms such as MOR don't get a mention.

Also in this day and age an electronic version with hypertext would be more appropriate - cross referencing is remarkably difficult now that we are all used to the web!

To conclude, the format and content could do with a little modernisation.

Clear and Comprehensive 28 Jan 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Vinyl Bound
Whether you are a novice seeking to learn the fundamentals of banking, or an active professional who has just encountered an unusual term, you will want this book. Each definition is short (only a paragraph or so), but most contain links to other terms, so the reader can gain a progressively deeper understanding of how terms interrelate. I also like the frequent inclusion of dates (e.g., the year a particular law was passed). The definitions are authoritative--based on a number of leading accounting, banking, and financial entities identified in the introduction. It's worth far more than its bargain price. I look forward to the next edition (Year 2000?). Keep up the good work!

Comprehensive 26 Sep 2002
By D. Pfeiffer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Vinyl Bound|Amazon Verified Purchase
Working in an IT company catering to bankers I bought this book to help understand their lingo. I have to say it hasn't disappointed yet. It is also very up to date the latest IT/banking terms. If you were to read all the definitions in this book you would probably know more than you banker. A great reference. Buy it!

Don't Let the Title Fool You 5 Aug 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Vinyl Bound
This can almost be considered an inexpensive textbook. It not only defines, but explains the terms in a simple, easy to understand format. Although in dictionary form, it consistently relates the terms to one another so the reader will understand how the concepts interwind. Includes financial and banking terms.
