Known for many years as Barron’s Easy Way Series, the new editions of these popular self-teaching titles are now Barron’s E-Z Series.

Meanwhile, the quality of the books’ contents remains at least as high as ever.

For most subjects, the level of difficulty ranges between high school and college-101 standards.

E-Z books review their subjects in detail, and feature both short quizzes and longer tests with answers to help students gauge their learning progress. Subject heads and key phrases are set in a second color as an easy reference aid.
