"Questions and Answers on Life Insurance" is an excellent resource for anyone who is buying or has bought either "whole" or term life insurance. It is also a good reference for life insurance salespersons, financial planners, or those just interested in learning more about life insurance. The book answers questions regarding what type of policy is appropriate, how to deal with an insurance salesperson, what to expect in the underwriting process, and what steps one should take after buying life insurance. The book also contains many useful web site references and some sage advice relevant to life insurance and general financial planning. The question and answer format quickly directs the reader to a specific area of interest. The index and glossary are particularly complete. Mr. Steuer should be complemented on his thorough and interesting book.
Overall, if you have the slightest desire to know more about life insurance, I highly recommend this book

Insurance for Dummies
Insurance for Dummies
This book is worth its weight in gold. I originally picked it up while doing research on life insurance options. But after reading the first chapter on auto insurance, we called our agent, raised our libability limits and deductibles, got rid of unnecessary coverage and ended up saving ourselves $250 a year! The author, who has worked in the insurance industry for years, makes things plain and simple and illustrates his points with easy-to-understand charts. Now I feel like we actually have a clue about what we're buying, and I feel much more secure knowing we'll likely be well covered in the event of a catastrophe. This should be on every homeowner's bookshelf.
