  • This book will help reference librarians who are frequently asked for Web sites pertaining, e.g., to the financial aspects of divorce or accurate and up-to-date information about futures trading. It covers such diverse topics as American depository receipts and personal finance for gays and lesbians. A helpful introduction outlines the author's ideas on the different subject areas....a good buy for libraries of all sizes.
