FT have put out a lot of books on Investing and this is certainly handy if you are looking to jump in for some quick knowledge about Bonds, Stocks & Dividends. However I would suggest that you invest your time and money instead in 'Investing: The Definitive Companion to Investment and the Financial Markets Second Edition' by Glen Arnold for it goes into much more depth, provides a glossary and is generally applicable to more users.

It's ok, it'll give you the info you need to know on investment strategy. I found it was a little dry at times, with different authors taking on different chapters with varying success.
I've taken some solid ideas out of it but personally I've found more engaging books on this subject.

This book provides basic knowledge about Investing. A good read to start with, but make sure not to stay on that. I think we all need more knowledge before investing real money.
