ReviewsThe Book of Money is much more inclusive than simply money--it is actually a primer on finance with particular attention to money. It differs from other texts on finance in its inviting appearance and attractive art work.... It could obviously serve as an introduction to finance, perhaps an introductory high school or college text, but it could also be helpful in updating those with basic knowledge of the subject to recent developments in the rapidly changing and increasingly newsworthy field of finance. Or, it could be consulted as a reference to better understand headline stories in the press., What do you know about those Benjamins in your bankbook? Whatever your knowledge, learn more by reading The Book of Money... It would be difficult, in fact, to come up with some facet of economics that isn't included here. Authors Daniel Conaghan and Dan Smith even touch upon subjects that don't, initially, seem to have anything to do with money but they point out correlations in easy-to-grasp language, graphs, full-color pictures, and plenty of sidebars. This is one of those volumes that you'll want to keep in your office, for reference or for fun. Either way, if you've a passion for pesos (and more!), The Book of Money is a book you'll never get enough of.
