The Economist book series

[mperich]

Hey guys,

I was at the airport today and had nothing to read so I picked up The Economist's Guide to Financial Markets (4th ed.) I was wondering if anyone has experience with these books (ive seen the magazine comes highly recommended on these boards). Im still very new to investing but starting to get a bit of a clue and Im trying to compile a bit of a library. From the series the books Im thinking about getting are

Primary: Guide to financial markets
Guide to analyzing companies
Guide to investment strategy
International Dictionary of Finance (dunno about this one)
Mapping the market (mayyyybe seems a bit of a TA book tho so maybe not, maybe 2ndary)



Secondary: Emerging markets
Guide to Economic Indicators
Dealing with Financial Risk (sounds interesting but could be over my head for awhile)
China's Stockmarket

Anyways any info would be helpful. Also, I am aware of the reading list in the sticky and will probably pick up most (all maybe) of the value investing books.
