Have you ever browsed through the personal finance books in the bookstore until your eyes glazed over, without finding a book that covers the basic topics you want to bone up on without losing you in the first few pages? I know I have.

Occasionally I review personal finance books for the Financial Planning Web site. Although I read dozens of such books each year, I find few that I can recommend to the average person who just wants to understand the basics and get his or her financial life in order.

Now there's a book that covers the most important issues in personal finance in a clear, concise, easy-to-understand manner. It's called The Everything Personal Finance in Your 20s and 30s Book, published by Adams Media, and it was written by yours truly, your Guide to Financial Planning at About.com.
