What I liked is that the book just didn't limit itself to the conversation per say.. it went well beyond with elements like: assessing your financial situation, budget, goals, expectations. It presents investment basics (bonds, etc) AND really covers the basics of the in's and out's of dealing with a broker. You know.. the kind of questions you sure would like to have the answers to when you are a beginner: how to settle an dispute, how to phrase an order -- using the correct terms, as if you'd done that all your life; which brokers to avoid.. there is even has a section covering discount brokers!
Truly a good source of information.. presented in a way ANYONE can understand! :)
