For many of us, the single biggest financial transaction is buying a house. Even more significant than the hefty down payment we fork over is the 15- to 30-year mortgage that needs feeding every month. If you have this much at stake, a little knowledge can go a long way, which is where Eric Tyson and Ray Brown come in. In Mortgages for Dummies, Tyson and Brown (who also wrote Home Buying for Dummies and House Selling for Dummies) provide a comprehensive introduction for anyone who is contemplating a mortgage. The book tells you how to evaluate your creditworthiness, determine your borrowing power, and shop for a lender, as well as covering the various types of loans. The authors also devote a section to refinancing and discuss what you should consider when prepaying a loan. They include amortization and remaining-balance tables, and a useful glossary. Whether you're a first-time home buyer or are just looking to refinance, you'll find this a valuable, easy-to-use guide. --Harry C. Edwards

Contrary to popular belief, most Americans' largest purchase is not their home. It is their mortgage, since the interest paid over the life of a home loan is usually more than the price of the home itself. And selecting a mortgage can be even more confusing that choosing a home. The fourth edition of The Mortgage Kit explains the intricacies of all the latest financing options in great detail. This can be heavy going, but worthwhile. Author Thomas C. Steinmetz notes that mortgage costs vary widely from lender to lender. Thousands of dollars may be saved by knowing how to compare rates, discount points, and fees to find the best buy. --Barry Mitzman
