Reviews

Edelman, a talk-show financial planner, transfers a glib "on the air" style of communicating into print, with mixed results. Verbose to a fault, he often crosses the line between financial advice and advice based on his own values. For example, most individuals recognize the cost difference between public and private higher education and do not need Edelman's advice to discount the added value provided by a degree from a high-profile school. His counsel on choosing a mutual fund is essentially sound, but the reader is subjected to what might be a script for television rather than a concise explanation of the issues. The occasional references to the service provided by his own staff of planners suggest that this obfuscation is not unintentional. Better stick with Marshall Loeb's Lifetime Financial Strategies (LJ 1/96).?Joseph Barth, U.S. Military Acad. Lib., West Point, N.Y.
