You should be able to find it at your local B. Dalton's/Waldenbooks/Cohl's etc. for about $2.95. The book describes all sorts of investments (bonds, funds, stocks, GNMA's, etc.) and tells the strengths and weaknesses of each; it also tells which kind of investments are best for which kind of people. Best of all, it has phone numbers and addresses for obtaining prospectuses (prospecti?) and such. Good reading and better investing!
