Compiled Remake
5 Jan 2004
Format:Hardcover
This is yet another of Fabozzi's contributed works that ends up with poor flow. I'm not sure why this book was written, since it isn't nearly as good or as comprehensive as previous works, and doesn't represent the best writers in this field. For instance, Schonbucher's work on pricing is far superior to anything presented here.

Credit Derivatives
5 Jan 2004
Format:Hardcover
This book has nothing new in spite of being released in 2003. Many key issues receive inadequate explanations, and the sections written by different authors do not merge well. If you have no experience with the market, this is not a good book to start you off. If you have experience with the market, there is no reason to buy this book.
