Some quality material and interesting things. But nothing you can't find anywhere for that matter.

A compact, carry it anywhere book. A good reference source for in-the-field information on real estate. Very satisfied with the purchase.

The Dictionary of Real Estate Terms, 7th edition , first characteristic is its Handiness, its length no longer than your open hand palm and weighing less than a can of beans .
Its important characteristic resides in the numerous figures ( drawings ), 209 figures in total, to make clear an explanation; if a figure is worth one thousand words, then this Dictionary feature makes it a welcome one.
58 Tables such as a budget table make it really useful to a beginner not educated in finance or accounting subjects.
Small size as it is , the text is legible without strain on your eyes and the entries are indicated in bold print double the size of the regular text.
Examples are given for all definitions .
The three authors seem well qualified : Jack Friedman is a CPA and a Real Estate consultant, J. Bruce Lindeman is a professor of Real Estate at the University of Arkansas.
Excellent text for a beginner in Real Estate ! Approximately 3 000 terms.

Not just words, the real estate dictionary also has sketches showing each part of a house, property, easement, how to tell the difference between ants and termites and much more. If you want to understand more about property, thumbing through this book helps, but you have to find the word first just like in Websters. Could be improved to include a real estate thesaurus or the thesaurus offered as a companion volume.

The info contained is clear & concise without preamble or confusion. In fact in some cases illustrations are included for those of us that benefit from graphics. I actually have 3 RE dictionaries and prefer this one for it's basic understanding and size. This is the one I tend to lean on most often! Although it is no longer in print (or so I understand) it is definitely worth the investment as the info is still applicable.
