For my purposes, I found this book to be very inadequate, if not inutile. I have a workable knowledge of the Italian language in both a conversational and written (in terms of journalism and literature) sense, but my business vocabulary is seriously lacking. Hence,I thought it prudent to purchase this book to help me with a project I am doing at work for which I must read Italian financial and insurance company and related informational websites to write a report on e-commerce in the Italian finance/insurance market. As in English, there are many every-day words in Italian that when put in a business context take on a different meaning. This book did not contain any of these words for which I needed definitions. In fact, what is included in this book are the larger words for which most people wouldn?t require a glossary, because the words resemble their English counterparts. Another thing that this book seriously lacked was a glossary for acronyms and abbreviations, which as any businessman knows, are bandied about in the business world like take-out menus in a New York apartment building. You won?t even find the English or Italian translation for S.p.A?.not even under societa. I recommend looking elsewhere for your business Italian language needs.
