Usually I don’t strongly criticize a book that has information you can find elsewhere. After all, I can find the complete works of Shakespeare and about thirty versions of the Bible for free on the Internet, but that doesn’t make the paper versions worthless. But this book has nothing in it of any real use, certainly nothing to justify the outrageous price. We get the same tired old history of Forex that anyone can find on the ‘net. And we get some terms defined. So far nothing that a beginner couldn’t find in five minutes on Google. And there’s a glossary in the back that defines those terms for you again, just in case you need refreshing. Other than that, there’s nothing about technical or fundamental analysis; not even a chart. I’m glad I read this book in the bookstore. Thanks to the other reviewers for steering me clear of this worthless book. I’m very new to Forex, but I’m sure I could get enough info on Google in about two hours to write a book ten times better than this one.

If you’ve never heard of forex, never traded and lived with your head stuck in the sand since you were born then this is the book for you!
Every line is doubled spaced to make the book appear longer than it really is which is short, 96 pages, 82 excluding the glossary. It is the kind of book that a person with no knowledge of forex markets could write within a week and possibly do a better job.
In saying this I’m at page 43 and felt so disgusted and ripped off that I felt compelled to write this. Disappointment is not the word.
To be fair it’s mildly interesting in parts but barely scratches the surface on anything it describes.
If you wish to be armed with enough jargon and basics to boldly open a forex account and not have a clue what to do, why look further? “Forex for Small Speculators” is the book for you!

dont buy this book, it is a total joke, takes 2 hours to read, gives some generic info on markets, that has no value to the forex trader.. dont waste money on it. there is tons of free FZorex info on the Internet…

This book is a general overview of the Forex market, including its history. All the information contained in the book is helpful, but it teaches neither the various economic factors that have fundamental effects on the currency markets, nor the technicals involving day-to-day trading. If I wanted to buy one book to get a general idea of what everyone is talking about, this would be it. It is also an easy read for a short afternoon.

There is not enough info in this book to justify the price. Double spaced and about 90 pages. Also the review by super trader appears to be a plug by the author.
