Format:Hardcover
I recommend this book as a solid introduction to the capital markets. The main product classes and their derivatives are covered in a simple and direct style. The principal techniques for pricing and the use of sensitivites are explained with a good set of illustrative examples. This book is not nearly as formal as Hull's Options, Futures, & Other Derivatives but it covers a wider field and is much better suited in its billed role as an introduction.

This is the best general introduction to finance I have read. It is written in a very straightforward way and covers all the main concepts without getting lost in complex mathematics. I recommend the book for university students and others thinking of working in the financial markets.
