Format:Paperback
Overall, the book is a good text though it's lack of in-depth treatments of each chapter. It is succinct and fairly accessible and really good reference for undergraduate but not for any advanced.

this book is written in a clear style and most of the sections in the book can be self taught as it is very lucid. i recommend this book to all the students of international finance and also to those who always wanted to learn about the functioning of foreign exchange mechanism.
