2.0 out of 5 stars Incomplete Dictionary of Insurance, 31 Mar 2009
By Anish Patel (London, UK) - See all my reviews
I bought this book from Amazon (super fast delivery by the way) a few months ago. I've been working in the London Market Insurance industry for about 6 months in Catastrophe risk.

I have 2 dictionaries on my desk, the Oxford English Dictionary and the FT Dictionary of Insurance. Every time I come across a word that I don't understand the proper meaning of, I pick up the Oxford English Dictionary and it provides me with a clear, concise definition which immediately leads to me understanding the word.

Every time I come across an insurance term that i don't know/understand I pick up the FT Dictionary of Insurance. More often than not, the word I am searching for is not in the dictionary (out of about 100 searches, I've so far found about 20 definitions). On the few occasions where the term is in the dictionary, it is often accompanied by a hazy definition that tends to confuse me more than before I picked up the book.

This is the second edition of the book first published in 1992. I can only come to the conclusion that many of the terms/definitions are very old and have not been adequately revised in the 2004 second edition.

I can't stress enough how poor a companion this dictionary is. The only reason it receives 2 stars instead of one is because it's well presented.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have reference book., 10 Feb 2009
By James Cook "Jim Cook." (North West, England.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I purchased this book on the off chance that it may be what I was looking for; and it was.
The book is as it says,a dictionary of insurance terms, very UK applicable and a must have for any person either creating, or responding to repudiation letters or the like. Clear print on good quality paper, don't make a fool of yourself by misusing or misinterpreting latin words or phrases. Worth every penny.
